Bulawayo High Court has ruled in favour of former Buawyo deputy mayor Gift Banda and has ordered local government minister Saviour Kasukuwere to reinstate him immediately.
Banda was fired in February this year by Kasukuwere following recommendations made by an independent tribunal. He was fired together with Ward 21 Councillor Reuben Matengu after they appeared before an independent tribunal for alleged gross misconduct and mismanagement following their suspension in September 2016. In June this year, Bulawayo High Court judge Justice Martin Makonese had reserved judgement in the case citing that he would need to look at the submissions by the independent tribunal so that the court can come up with a judgement.
