In a letter written by the party acting MDC-A
secretary-general Mr David Chimhini, the workers were told to surrender all
party equipment and documents.
“This letter serves to inform you that your fixed term
contract of employment shall be expiring on December 31, 2020. All your
outstanding salaries that are due to you shall be paid into your normal bank
account in due course. The office will communicate with you once the funds are
available.”
According to the letter the organisation reserved the right
to either renew the contract or not, either on different terms or similar ones.
“In the meantime, you are required to return all the
party’s materials, documents or equipment which were in your custody during the
period of your contract of employment,” he said.
According to the termination of the contracts, the party
equipment and documents were supposed to have been surrendered to the office of
the party’s chief of staff by Thursday December 21, 2020.
The employees were also required to have completed all
assignments given to them by their respective supervisors while kindly ensuring
progress reports or plans were all in place by December 28,2020. MDC-A fired
employees were also advised to continue treating any information and knowledge
about the party one might have gained during the period of service in very
strict confidence always.
“It must never be divulged to any other persons not
authorised by the organisation,” reads the letter.
MDC-A spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere confirmed the termination
of the employees’ contracts.
“Our staff were on annual contracts which expired on
December 31, 2020. The administrative department is currently in the process of
working on renewals,” she said. Herald
