Umgeni Water’s board in KwaZulu-Natal was appointed irregularly by her predecessor, the water and sanitation minister claims

Sisulu’s spokesperson, Yonela Diko, confirmed the Umgeni Water decision, saying that the axed board would hand over to an interim leadership appointed by Sisulu “in the near future”. Thereafter, a process to appoint a permanent board would start.

Diko said Sisulu had initiated a process of reviewing the boards under her ministry after she was appointed. “She discovered that a couple of the boards, including the Umgeni board, had not been properly constituted as they did not have cabinet concurrence and had not been taken for approval. This means that they were not regularised and decided to take steps to ensure that the proper processes were followed.”

Diko said although Sisulu was not happy with all of the Umgeni board’s decisions since the irregular extension took place, “this is not about corruption. This is purely an issue of the board not being properly constituted.” Umgeni Water spokesperson Shami Harichunder referred all queries to the ministry because it had made the appointments.Subscribe to the M&G
