South Africa: Samwu Demands Suspension of Vhembe District Municipal Manager

press release

In her address to the staff meeting on Monday Morning, the 14th May 2018, the Executive Mayor confirmed the incident, and committed her office to further establish the details of the incident, so that appropriate steps can be taken. What is not contested is that the Municipal Manager has mishandled the General Manager, who in turn, allegedly opened a criminal case against the MM, and the MM has already appeared in court on Friday, the 11th May 2018.

The Municipal Manager has conducted an act of misconduct, by engaging in a criminal activity of assaulting his General Manager during working hours.
