Facts of the Case

Background

Anderson Chizanga, an employee of Agribank, was transferred from Harare to Hwange while two grievances he had raised—regarding grading and back pay—were still pending. He argued the transfer was punitive and not in accordance with natural justice. The Labour Court found a nexus between the grievances and the transfer, ruling the transfer unlawful.
