Facts of the Case

Background

The appellant, a bus conductor employed by Zimbabwe United Passenger Company Ltd, was dismissed after failing to issue tickets to five passengers on a trip from Harare to Malawi. She claimed she was unable to perform her duties due to illness, but no complaint was made at departure, and inspectors later collected US$95.00 directly from the passengers. The internal appeals body upheld the dismissal, prompting an appeal to the Labour Court.
