Having considered the seriousness of the charges against Vukela, Gungubele decided that the suspension should continue until the finalisation of the disciplinary processes.

Vukela contends that this matter should be heard by GPSSBC and not by a disciplinary tribunal process.Gungubele added that it was the view of the presidency that the GPSSBC should not be dealing with the matter and therefore it questioned its jurisdiction in court.“Everyone seems to be focused on what the law and the processes allow.
