The President of Zambia has sacked the country’s High Commissioner to South Africa for misconduct.
President Hakainde Hichilema of Zambia took the decision after the High Commissioner, Ms. Mazuba Monze reportedly asked a male staff to shave her.
The diplomat, who was serving at the Zambian Mission in Pretoria had reportedly made an uncommon request, and an undiplomatic directive.
The High Commissioner reportedly termed this act as disobedience and an act of insubordination and proceeded to fire the staff.
The matter went quiet for a while until he appealed against the decision and brought the matter to the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
