Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, Meaker Masedze, was dismissed by Zimpost (Pvt) Ltd after being found guilty of fraud for submitting fraudulent travel and subsistence receipts. He appealed to the National Hearing Committee, which dismissed his appeal. He failed to file a timely review application and later applied for condonation for the delay, citing reliance on a promised amnesty, being a layperson, and having lost hope. The Labour Court dismissed the condonation application due to lack of reasonable explanation and no prospects of success.
