boss Duma Ndlovu s brother

’ Christophe­r has been unceremoni­ously fired from the soapie, allegedly due to family issues. Christophe­r, who was the company s online

’ editor, confirmed that he was pink-slipped from his job, allegedly without committing any transgress­ion. Yes I can confirm that my services were “terminated and no reasons were given to me. I was told when I enquired about my pay last month that the company no longer wanted my services,” he said.

Christophe­r said he then requested that the terminatio­n be put in writing before he could leave. However, when he arrived at work the following day, his access card had been deactivate­d.

He said he might have been fired because of his personal difference­s with Duma. I have been a loyal servant of the company “for over 13 years. I have done my work with due diligence and I have never been taken to a disciplina­ry hearing,” Christophe­r said. I don t know why I was fired but as “’ siblings we sometimes have personal or family difference­s. But they were not that big that could have led to my dismissal but maybe that could be the reason for my dismissal.”

He however, said he had not spoken to Duma about his sudden dismissal.

publicist Amanda Ngudle confirmed that they had fired Christophe­r. It was an executive decision for reasons “whom is not at liberty to divulge (sic). He was informed at the beginning of the year for reasons that were communicat­ed to him. He refused to participat­e in the processes “and therefore the company took the liberty to exercise its authority to make a decision.”

Ngudle denied Christophe­r was fired after a family feud between him and Duma. Personal matters or family feuds cannot “be dealt with in the boardroom. Hence HR processes that the company has tried to follow since January,” she said.
