I was fired � Mphathi

Worse, senior as he was, he was simply fired without a hearing. Quizzed this week if it was all over with him and his former employer, Mphathi was quick to explain that he is not a giver on anything. “So, I can’t give up really. I have to fight for my rights.”

He is contemplating taking legal action that he will deem appropriate after thorough consultations. He is particularly incensed by the fact that, his former South African-based board chairperson Ian Forbes, chose to ignore the basic rule of offering him an opportunity to be heard and then simply deciding to “fire me just like that”.
