Gweru Town Clerk Elizabeth Gwatipedza was on Monday suspended on allegations of mismanagement.
Gwatipedza was served with a suspension letter on Monday afternoon by the mayor, councillor Josiah Makombe. The Chronicle quotes its source as saying:
She was suspended at around 4 PM when she was busy chairing a management meeting which the chamber secretary — Mr Chikwekwe — was also part of.
The mayor then ordered that she removes her belongings from the office before he locked the door and took away the keys. Even Ms Gwatipedza’s secretary was told to leave her office.
Gwatipedza was accused of failure to supervise departments and mismanagement in what is believed by some to be politics at play as she is thought to be Zanu-PF working in an MDC Alliance led council.
