Zimbabwe's main medical aid industry group, the Association of Healthcare Funders, is dealing with major reputational damage. Its assets were recently seized by court officials over an unpaid unfair dismissal award exceeding thirty-seven thousand dollars. The case involves two former employees, Wadzanayi Chiweshe and Monica Garande, who were unlawfully fired last year.
CEO Shylet Sanyanga leads the organization. An arbitrator ruled the dismissals unlawful, ordering reinstatement and compensation. The association's delayed payment prompted the High Court sheriff to attach its property. The former staff described a hostile work environment and a lack of due process during their terminations.
Internal sources suggest deeper governance problems within the group. Some board members allege a lack of transparency regarding the legal case, contributing to the compliance failure. High staff turnover has also plagued the organization recently. Both Sanyanga and board chairman Stanford Sisiya were unavailable for comment.
