Pretoria - The City of Tshwane senior manager accused of sexual harassment by two female colleagues has lost a court bid seeking to interdict the municipality’s disciplinary hearing against him.
In court papers, he argued that the duration of his suspension lapsed on April 22 after it was effected in January this year. However, the court found the disciplinary hearing commenced once a charge sheet had been delivered to an employee. In a scathing judgment on Monday, the court lamented the “tendency by senior employees seeking to avoid discipline by bringing spurious court applications”.
He said it was a political ploy to play into the campaign to fight gender-based violence and the protection of women and children.
