Businessman Wicknell Chivayo says his firm which won part of a huge solar project in Matabeleland South plans to employ over 800 workers. But only Zanu PF card carrying members need apply.
He said he was shocked when he realised that his human resources manager was demanding 5 O Levels for the unskilled jobs.
"I was reading the advert he wants to place in the paper for unskilled workers 5 O levels including maths and English. I told him don't run my company the way you want, Unskilled labour labour for carrying transformers and lifting solar panels you want 5 O levels. How are we empowering or assisting the community by that. I told him there is absolutely no O Level requirement and to me a valid Zanu-PF card will be more significant in the circumstances.
"I have great disrespect for educated people, they sit in offices wearing ties driving beautiful company cars but no cent in the bank. Besides giving themselves huge salaries while others are suffering they have stupid titles group chief executive, general manager, executive director but go to their houses and open their safe you'll find every degree you can think, then come to my house I lost my O Level certificate long back I've never needed it in my life but when you open my safe you'll collapse."
