Former ZUJ president Mathew Takaona and his secretary general Foster Dongozi are refusing to pay a journalist for his services in a donor-funded program although the project money was availed to the union a long time ago, Save ZUJ Campaign can exclusively reveal.
Journalist Maxwell Sibanda has had more than three months demanding payment for his consultancy work on a project wholly funded by IMS but Takaona and Dongozi have refused to honour the agreement. Meanwhile, Sibanda has since confiscated a laptop from the union's headqaurters at Number 57 Central Avenue in protest.
Information at hand show that the funds were embezzled by Dongozi and Takaona who also stand accused by some of the union's employees of abusing fuel coupons and other union funds.
The continuos abuse of resources recently caused Dongozi and Takaona to be summoned by some named donors of the union to explain. The donors have since told them that they are not prepared to inject any resources into the union until a new executive was put in place, prompting Takaona to step down from the presidential race.
Save ZUJ Campaign is saddened by this development and would want to urge the executive-in-waiting to probe Takaona and Dongozi for abuse of office and corruption.
Vote Frank Chikowore for Secretary General
