Cuthbert Dube off the hook

Former ZBC chairman Cuthbert Dube will not be prosecuted for administrative bungling at the state broadcaster where he approved outrageous salaries for top management.

This was said on Wednesday by Information, media and broadcasting services minister Jonathan Moyo who added that booting him out of the board was enough punishment.

Dube stands accused of negotiating and approving pay hikes of senior managers without the approval of the entire board.

Moyo said Dube, who unilaterally increased the salary and allowances of ZBC chief executive Happison Muchechetere to $40 000 a month, had done nothing illegal.
