Moyo is one of the founders, and Old Mutual was a 20% shareholder. A previous high court judgment that Moyo had been fired illegally was overturned by a full bench on January 14. The judgment allowed Old Mutual to start the process of appointing a new CEO.attempts to appoint a new leader and put the drawn out dispute behind it.
