THE Gokwe Town Council has unilaterally resolved to dismiss its town secretary Melania Mandeya over a raft of corruption charges and being unqualified for the job.
The council also fired Joconia Nyoni on allegations of abetting Mandeya in her thieving acts.
Council chairperson Never Gwanzura confirmed to NewZimbabwe.com this week that the two senior officials’ contracts had since been terminated.
Gwanzura said following internal investigations by the council, a resolution was made to dismiss Mandeya and Nyoni from their lofty positions.
The duo also faces criminal charges and was released on bail last year following arrest over abuse of office charges.
