Disney cast member sent back to Africa over picture
By Scott | September 3, 2008
A Walt Disney World cast member from Botswana who was fired over allegations of sexual harassment is being sent home tomorrow morning even though he wants to stay in Orlando long enough to fight the allegation through a union grievance process.
Ordirile “Jojo” Rammoni, 25, was a cultural representative at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, where he discussed his country’s culture and talked about the wildlife on exhibit at Animal Kingdom’s Pangani Forest. He’d been at Disney since March. Rammoni said he recently posed for some publicity photos with other Disney cultural representatives. When the photos were examined later, one shot captured his hand touching the breast of the woman standing next to him. He insisted it was not on purpose, saying the photographer instructed them to clown around in front of the camera, and in that one shot his hand must have incidentally touched her in the wrong place at the wrong time.
