Commercial radio station Zi-FM is said to have suspended veteran presenter Kimble Rodgers after he allegedly sexually harassed a female employee.
Rodgers however, scoffed at the allegations and said they were driven by malice.
"Well I am not familiar with such an incident, what I know is that I took some days off because I had to attend a funeral. All other stories you are hearing are not true, I simply applied for leave," he said.
According to sources, management at the Supa Mandiwanzira owned station has suspended Rodgers for allegedly sexually harassing a colleague. It is alleged that Rodgers was 'tempted to touch' and he pulled the colleague's bra strap without her consent.
"Well, Kimble pulled his colleague's bra strap. he did not fondle her breasts because she resisted and reported the matter to managemen."
This action, it is alleged, riled the colleague who reported the incident to management. His slot has since been taken over by Delani Makalima amid revelations that part time presenters snubbed the slot as it gave them more workload.
However, despite his spirited denial, our sources from within the station insisted that management decided to suspend Rodgers as investigations are underway.
