A woman employed by Photo Quick Caprivi at Katima Mulilo, Robbinah Mubita, was fired from her job last week after her boss, Niqui Bosch, allegedly accused her of suffering from tuberculosis (TB) because she had a persistent cough.

This employee used the excuse to run to the newspapers. She had been absent for 42 working days - and paid for every day - during her 6 months she was in our employ. She was sick constantly - wihtout doctor's notes. She also slept in the toilets - the moment I left the shop. When I set my foot down that she get doctor's notes and medical treatment, she stopped coming to work, when I tried finding out what is going on, she made personal remarks against myself after which I had to dismiss her. Please note that excluding the 42 paid sickleave days, she also had 3 months maternity. This was taken up by the labour act, and even they agreed with me that she did not deserve the amount of paid days. This lady is an employer's nightmare. And this article was not recearched by Mr Malomu. If you do not remove it, I will have to take steps as this is libel.
