Telecel not yet off the hook in $2,8m litigation

AT least 43 former Telecel Zimbabwe employees, who filed a $2,8 million lawsuit against the mobile network provider following termination of their employment contracts on notice in July 2015, have once again approached the High Court seeking reinstatement of their matter after it was struck off the roll in October last year.

The 43 ex-workers initially petitioned the High Court in 2016 demanding compensation and accusing their former paymaster of unlawful dismissal.

However, after both parties appeared for a pre-trial before a full hearing, the matter was subsequently removed from the roll in October last year and since then, nothing materialised, prompting the employees to approach the High Court Registrar, seeking re-instatement of the matter.
