DURBAN - IT REMAINS to be seen if eThekwini city manager Sipho Nzuza will return to work as expected next month as his application for special leave ends at the end of March.
Initially, Nzuza was suspended by the city, which came at virtually the same time as his arrest by the Hawks in connection with a R430 million tender fraud and corruption case. Subsequent to the suspension, which, in terms of the 2010 Promulgated Disciplinary Procedures for Senior Managers is expected to last no longer than three months, Nzuza was granted special leave of absence.
Concerns grew when it emerged that Nzuza had been signing off on tender documents. He was subsequently whisked back to court on November 15 for allegedly violating his bail conditions by taking part in meetings and signing off on documents.When he appears in the Durban Specialised Commercial Crimes Court next month, Nzuza will share the court benches with his co-accused, former mayor Zandile Gumede, who will also be reappearing.
