State broadcaster ZBC ‘rehiring’ dismissed employees

STATE broadcaster Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) is reportedly re-hiring some of its experienced staff fired using the Supreme Court ruling that allows the termination of employment contracts on three months’ notice, NewsDay has learnt.

Sources close to the developments also claimed that a human resources audit had revealed that some senior managers who were asked to re-submit their educational and professional certificates did not possess the requisite qualifications for their jobs.

“At least three departmental heads in the radio department (names withheld) only had ‘O’ Levels as their highest qualifications, while a former acting general manager only has an ‘A’ Level certificate,” an insider said.
