Labour Matters: Saftu spokesman fired over rape allegations

The South African Federation of Trade Unions fired Ntozakhe Douglas Mthukwane after discovering a string of rape allegations against him.

“In our letter of appointment, we categorically stated that we were still doing a background and criminal record check, and that should the result come back positive we reserve the right to retract the appointment.” According to media reports, in May 2019, Mthukwane allegedly raped a 33-year-old woman in his Beaconsfield flat in Kimberly.

Baloyi found fault with how the justice system deals with gender-based violence cases and felt that rapists should not be granted bail.According to his profile on the South African Freelancer’s Association website, Mthukwane has been working in the media industry since the early 1990s.
