Chinotimba in trouble

Buhera South Member of Parliament Joseph Chinotimba has been taken to court by the Zimbabwe Urban and Rural Council Workers Union. The Union wants him to stop masquerading as its president and stop meddling in the union’s affairs.  The Union’s lawyer Joel Mambara says Chinotimba ceased to be president of the union when he resigned from the Harare City Council where he was a municipal policeman and entered into politics in 2008. ZURCWU secretary –general Benard Dhanda said three presidents had led the union since Chinotimba stepped down but he has not bounced back claiming to be  “Life President” and even suspended Dhanda. The union said Chinotimba had even instructed its bank to stop all withdrawals and other transactions from the account.
