PPC Zimbabwe lays off managers

CEMENT maker PPC Zimbabwe is reportedly on the verge of laying off more than 20 middle-level managers in the southern region as part of its turnaround strategy.

However, the exercise has reportedly angered the targeted employees as they allege that their foreign counterparts holding similar positions are being excluded from retrenchment.

“There are about 400 employees and with its turnaround strategy the company is only targeting local management while protecting foreigners holding similar posts,” said one middle-level manager.
