Tshwane mayor flip-flops on Mosola settlement, pushes ahead with negotiations without approval | SarahPeace6

Tshwane City manager Moeketsi Mosola, Mayor Stevens Mokgalapa and speaker Katlego Mathebe entered into settlement negotiations over a Labour Court dispute despite a Tshwane City council resolution that specifically excludes the possibility.

The GladAfrica contract was a sprawling project management consultancy agreement in which GladAfrica essentially ran the City's capital expenditure budget, allegedly at an ever-increasing cost to the City. Mosola approved the contract and defended it for months.The City paid GladAfrica nearly R500m by the time the parties agreed to part ways and it owed GladAfrica an additional nearly R95m, council minutes show.

At the February 20 meeting, the Mayco resolved, among other things, to terminate the GladAfrica tender by mutual consent and to start settlement talks over the Labour Court case. When Mokgalapa presented the Mayco resolutions to council on February 28, he made a few amendments. Mokgalapa did not explain this apparent contradiction when asked about it this week. He said the issue was"sub judice as it is still in court". But he confirmed that the parties were talking to each other.

The matter has been unresolved since then, and the EFF and the ANC used the"sub judice" nature of the case to save Mosola from another suspension attempt at a council meeting on January 31.
