Former chief heads Zim firm

A FORMER chief executive at failed South African furniture retailer Ellerines is now heading Zimbabwe’s largest fast food and retail group, Innscor Africa, but is having to shuttle between the two countries because he has no work permit. Appointed head of Ellerines in 2003, Antonio Fourie stepped down from his position in February this year, by which time the furniture-selling company was choking from losses. Fourie could not be reached for comment yesterday. – Reuters
