asanterabi mkonyi vs tanesco 2022 tzca 96 7 march 2022

Court

TZCA

The principles of unfair termination do not apply to the appellant's fixed term contract because he failed to establish a reasonable expectation of renewal, and his abscondment from work negated any such expectation; therefore, the High Court's decision to vacate the CMA's award and dismiss the claim for unfair termination was correct.
