“I am not of the view that on the grounds of appeal raised by the applicant that the appeal would have a reasonable prospect of success,” said Justice Julian Yende in theThe applicant has failed dismally to clearly demonstrate that this court has erred or misdirected itself “Comprehensive reasons were provided for the order granted and the sound written judgment delivered.

The minister fired members of the Sita board, causing others subsequently to resign, over a spat about then-incoming CEO Bongani Mabaso’s salary.

This consultation, he said, is required under Sita’s memorandum of incorporation.

This is despite the board’s November 2022 recommendation of Mabaso for the CEO position at a salary of R3.5-million/year. Mabaso was actually offered R4.5-million, according to court papers seen by TechCentral.Yende ruled against the minister in February, ordering that the board Gungubele fired be reinstated.
