Zimbabwe duped by “UK investor”-workers say

7. Statutory Compliance

Boustead Beef has not been complying with the law of the land in terms of remitting taxes for all its employees’ salaries and benefits. There are doubts that VAT on rentals is being remitted especially because some tenants pay rentals through cattle and fuel.

Tax evasion is being done through use of a personal Ecocash line for business in the collection of rentals.

8. Boustead Beef Key Staff

Nicholas Havercroft is assisted by the following team which also believed from the onset that everyone is bent on derailing the CSC Boustead deal. Due to lack of professionalism and expertise they have failed dismally to effect a seamless handover takeover. If anything they are arrogant bullish and bitter and at worst foul.

Hellen Sibanda

She has caused untold anguish to all employees she has interacted with both old and young due to her sharp unbridled tongue which easily spits vitriol. She is the arsenal for Nicholas Havercroft to intimidate, frustrate and drive workers out of employment. She must also stop her tribal mantra that she will never learn Ndebele for as long as she works in Bulawayo. As an ex Labour officer she is now terrorising labour officers to make rulings in her Boustead’s favour to block workers from engaging Boustead Beef.

Mark Rouseuau

Numerous allegations of racist outbursts have been raised by employees since he arrived right from low level employees doing grass cutting up to management. He is angry and bitter with no respect for black nationals and the democracy in this nation. He recently took charge of the CSC guns to an unknown location and lied to police on his place of residence. To intimidate workers she alleges that he is a former BSAP and Sellous Scout and boasts that he killed a number of freedom fighters. The HR Director was fired in April through a letter ordering security guards to bar him from entering the premises because he had proceeded on leave sanctioned by a black manager. It is alleged that up to now he has not collected his personal stuff from the offices.

Douglas Cartright

There are no serious allegations of that abuse have been raised against him so far except a few threats of arrests. It would be interesting to google him on the internet.

Gavin Havercroft

No allegations of abuse have been raised against him so far except incompetence and serious delays and bungling salary payments where clerks get managers’ salaries and vice versa. October salaries are yet to be processed way into November.
