Sexgate rocks ZBC

…as State broadcaster suspends  two senior executives

Senior staff writer

The sexual harassment controversy that has rocked the state-owned ZBC has resulted in the suspension of News and Current Affairs Director Albert Chekayi and News Bulletins Manager Effort Magoso.

Magoso was suspended before the Main News bulletin on Wednesday night.

Magoso is accused of “grabbing” a female coworker’s “bums” a few years back.

Chekayi has been accused of harassing a female coworker.

Although the charges against the senior executives have yet to be proven, the scandal has tarnished ZBC’s reputation.

This comes after the director of radio services, Robson Mhandu, and the PowerFM station manager were fired.

This Monday, ZBC CEO Adelaide Chikunguru declined to comment on the alleged sexual harassment instances.
