Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant, a banking officer at Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, was dismissed for gross negligence after R50,000 went missing from a safe. He had improperly handed over safe keys to a cashier without authorization, allowing their cash collections to commingle, making it impossible to determine who took the missing money.
