A BUHERA man was left counting losses after his vehicle was burnt to ashes by his former employee following a salary dispute.
The matter came to light at Chipinge magistrates courts where Raymond Chirombo(18) appeared before magistrate Nixon Mangoti.
Mangoti slapped Chirombo with a three-year-jail term.
One year was suspended on condition of good behaviour. The court heard that on September 3 this year, Chirombo approached his former employer Trymore Dhliwayo demanding his outstanding salaries.
Chirombo was employed by the complainant as a tyre fixer at Gamba Industry in Birchenough Bridge.
Dhliwayo told the convict that he did not have money.
