Govt fires 3 NetOne directors

Government has fired three members of the NetOne board as it moves to paper over the cracks caused by a recent draft audit report.

The three board members Shepherd Tsomondo, Dorothy Mapimhidze and Thandiwe Mlobane were relieved of their duties on Friday last week. While the trio was fired ostensibly to revamp the board, sources yesterday said that the board was divided over contents of the draft audit report.  

The forensic audit of the parastatal commenced in March over allegations of corporate malfeasance at the country's oldest mobile operator. This resulted in the suspension of chief executive officer Reward Kangai to allow the investigations to take place.
