Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant, employed by Zimbabwe Revenue Authority as Head of Human Capital Administration, was subjected to disciplinary proceedings for alleged misconduct. After being suspended and facing four counts of misconduct, he referred the matter to a Labour Officer claiming the 30-day period had expired. The Disciplinary Committee proceeded with the hearing, found him guilty and dismissed him. His internal appeal and Labour Court appeal were dismissed. He then sought review in the Labour Court which was dismissed, leading to this Supreme Court appeal.
