Radio Africa is now part of the mix in its radio presenters´ Kamene Goro and Andrew Kibe lawsuit.
Yesterday, it got enjoined in the lawsuit the two are facing from former employer, NRG radio.
However, NRG had earlier filed a preliminary objection against Radio Africa´s involvement in the suit before the court ruled in favor of Radio Africa.
NRG sued the two over a 3-month non-complete clause in the radio station´s employment contract.
Yesterday, Radio Africa requested the court through a court application, to:
Set aside the orders issued by this Honorable Court on 28th June, 2019.
The orders barred the two radio presenters from working for any radio station.
On the other hand, with Radio Africa being their current employer, they seek involvement in the case, as an interested party.
According to an affidavit sworn by head of legal in Radio Africa, Linda Musita, the two presenters:
Have been placed on Radio Africa´s payroll subject to statutory deductions and employee benefits.
Furthermore, the court orders made on the 28th of June are detrimental to the company.
Moreover, Radio Africa revealed to the court that it has made a massive investment in refurbishing KISS 100´s studio, training Kamene and Kibe as well as hiring additional staff.
Not forgetting the kind of publicity created to the public about the new set of its employees´ upcoming radio show.
On the 22nd of July 2019, the case is to be back in court.
