Africa-Press – Zambia. Aseza Limelintaka, a 28-year-old cashier at a Shell petrol station in Maitland, has ignited a public uproar after alleging she was fired for purchasing a second-hand car.
The controversy deepened with a detailed Facebook post from Limelintaka, where she recounted her ordeal with station owner Patel.
In her post, Limelintaka explained that she had been saving diligently to buy a car and expand her business aspirations.
However, she claims Patel confronted her, questioning how she could afford the vehicle on her salary. “He said how did I manage to buy a car while I work there? Because no one ever bought a car there I told him that I’ve been saving since I worked there, not him asking for proof of my savings?” she wrote.
She described showing Patel her bank app and sharing a PDF of her bank statement, only for him to allegedly deem it insufficient and suggest she resign or work as a petrol attendant.
Limelintaka further alleged that Patel accused her of unexplained income, saying, “I’m buying a car, he’s not comfortable for me to be a cashier again.”
She expressed frustration, asking, “Why should I tell my personal life?… So by buying a second-hand car that I’ve been saving for it made me lose my job!!”
