Court dismisses minister’s leave to appeal over sacked SITA board

Mondli Gungubele , the minister of communications and digital technologies, lost his leave appeal last week against a decision that reinstated the sacked board over the remuneration of then-MD Bongani Mabaso.

In response, the minister sought leave to appeal to the full bench of the North Gauteng division, or to the Supreme Court of Appeal, against the judgement.in July last year that the conflict stemmed from a major disagreement between the minister, and the fired board chaired by Makano Mosidi, over the salary of then-MD Mabaso.

Mosidi, Ramabulani, and Ketsekile launched a judicial challenge to their removal from the board, and the court ruled in their favour. “I am not of the view that on the grounds of appeal raised by the applicant, the appeal would have a reasonable prospect of success. I find that it would be counter-intuitive to grant leave to appeal in the circumstances where the applicant has failed dismally to clearly demonstrate that this court has erred and/or misdirected itself and thus came to a judgment that no reasonable court could have made.
