Ex-Tru Man Trust employee sues board chiefs

FRANCISTOWN: Former Tru Man Trust coordinator Ditiro Majadibodu has taken the board of the non-governmental organisation (NGO) to court for what he says is unlawful dismissal from work.

The board comprises Khumongwana Taylor Maoto, Julias Bolokwe, Robert Kabozu, Ogomoditse Maruapula, Isaac Seleka, Gabriel Masie, Sylvia Muzila and True Men Trust. The above are listed as first to eighth respondents respectively. However, "The eighth respondent is cited nominally only," says the founding affidavit. Tru Man Trust, a non-profit making organisation, was founded in 2007. Its aims are to promote social change within the community of Francistown and the surrounding areas and further empower men on social and health issues. According to the affidavit prepared by the respondent's attorneys of record, Mmohe and Associates, Majadibodu, who was head hunted and then employed in July 2010, was dismissed through a letter dated 9th February, 2011.

Before his dismissal, he spearheaded the organisation's programmes. He also developed project proposals and sourced funding for the projects and recruited staff. As chief executive officer (CEO), he also advised the board on the overall performance and management of the trust.
