Kwekwe council woes mount

Kwekwe City Council's financial woes continue to mount, with former workers at its subsidiary, Kwekwe Breweries, taking the local authority to court over unpaid dues.

Kwekwe Breweries, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kwekwe City Council, recently closed shop, forcing all its workers home, including general manager Energy Choreva.

Choreva has since approached the Labour Court demanding close to $20 000 in outstanding salaries, leave days and other benefits.

Through his lawyer, Liberty Mashanyare, Choreva claimed he was unfairly dismissed, following termination of his contract a month ago.
