KwaZulu-Natal Public Works head of department Dr Gaster Sharpley has been suspended, KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala has confirmed.

Sharpley's suspension was confirmed by KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala.

In a short statement issued by the Premier's office on Tuesday, Zikalala said Phiweyo Duma, the deputy director-general for corporate services has been appointed acting HOD with immediate effect. "Dr Sharpley’s suspension is necessitated by the need to conduct investigations into a number of areas related to various governance and administrative matters in the Department. Dr Sharpely will remain on suspension until the relevant processes are concluded," Zikalala said.for a private consultant working as a compliance officer, providing support to Sharpley, despite having more than 20 senior permanent officials to provide the same services.

The report goes on to expose details of a three-year contract between MEC Peggy Nkonyeni’s department and Quinton Williams Consulting Pty , which is originally from East London. The appointment of the consultant angered department officials who felt it was a waste of taxpayers’ money and a total disregard for Zikalala’s call to exercise austerity by cutting down on unnecessary use of consultants. |
