Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent employee was transferred from City of Harare to ZINWA in 2006, then back to local authorities in 2009, but his name was omitted from the return list. ZINWA subsequently charged and dismissed him for absenteeism. The applicant employer sought leave to appeal the finding that ZINWA lacked jurisdiction to discipline the respondent after transfer.
