Share

Ex-RTSA Chief Executive Officer Zindaba Soko has sued his former emloyer in the Lusaka High Court demanding damages for mental stress and breach of contract.

Soko is also claiming payment of monthly salaries from the day of termination until full gratuity is paid to him.

He also wants an offer of the personal to order vehicle as prescribed by the agency’s conditions of service and any other reliefs that the court might deem fit.

According to a statement of claim filed in the Lusaka High Court principal registry, Soko stated that he was employed by the defendant as chief executive officer on a three year contract effective January 4, 2013.

“After the expiration of the contract, the plaintiff continued to work for the defendant on the same terms as the expired contract. On March 4, 2016, the plaintiff signed a new contract with the defendant in the same capacity on the same terms as the previous contracts saved for remuneration, ” the claim read in part.

    • The same court that asked ministers who illegally stayed in office to pay back the money. Has it been paid back ? Viva Malawi High court

  4. PF is a tandem of theives.

    The whole judiciary and systems of governance have been corrupted dirty.

    What is more shocking when you look at the levels the Zambia judiciary is corrupted is that lungu is supposed to be a lawyer…..

    It’s like like having a president who is a doctor by profession and the countries health system gets destroyed, or a teacher and the education system gets destroyed.

    One wounder if lungu only knows laws of corruption……

  5. Lelo lelo..! Zondani Soko walya umulilo. You were busy hiking road tax fees forgetting that one day you will also be on the street or you will be an ordinary man like anyone else. Now, you want a personal to holder ford ranger from tax payers’ money.? Sosi, wanya..!

  6. Tu ma bribe tunawamilila waibala kuti you were just an employee ka? Even hardworking billionaires go broke my friend. Now you want to get money by false pretence. Wanakucosa ncito iwe.

  7. IF OUR JUDICIARY CAN EMULATE OUR SMALL NEIGHBOUR MALAWI,
    WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY ZAMBIA WILL BE.
    YOU CAN DO IT, YOU SUPPOSED TO DO IT.
    YOU CAN SAVE ZAMBIA(NS)

  8. Birds coming home to roost, most PF members will have issues with the Law when they leave office. I didn’t know that Zambia had such kind of people. Suppose Zindaba was a Minister?

  9. Kaisala Zulu, the man has not sued PF. He has sued his employers RATSA. So how does the party of laws come in….dull.

  10. Zindaba Soko has caused so much stress to GRZ that it has ended up being on stress relief doses. Firstly, Zindaba Soko caused so much distress to RSTA by corruptly allowing deadly big buses on the Zambian roads causing deaths, hiked road levies where Soko was personally benefiting from fake road blocks.
    Secondly, Soko built up houses without any mortgage from banks and his income could not support or commensurate assets acquired while in employment.
    Soko, in a reversal of things should be prosecuted and jailed for corruption and causing stress to GRZ.

  11. The man loves his Personal Order Vehicle that he wants to buy it for $100 as prescribed in conditions of service. In the west there is nothing like personal to holder vehicle ..there is company car which you go to collect from a lease hire firm when you are fired the leasing company comes to collect their vehicle no this wastage we have in Zambia where we spoil these thieves and MPs.
    It reminds of the story about the new MD for ZANACO who came over from Europe, the management asked him what kind of Personal holder vehicle he wanted? He asked them if there is anything wrong with the one the previous MD was using..they answered: No. He told them he will use it then and they were surprised.

  12. We told this fooool Zindaba that his time will come…you must have shortchanged your crooked bosses on some backdoor deals

  13. Yes offer him to buy the car he wrecked since it was his persona to holder pay him his terminal benefits and then let him stew
