Durban - The SA Municipal Workers’ Union has accused the eThekwini Municipality of affording “preferential” treatment to non-black city officials facing disciplinary action .
Samwu official Dumisani Luthuli said they had observed that black employees implicated in wrongdoing by the City Integrity and Investigations Unit were quickly suspended, while their colleagues of different skin colour who faced similar charges remained at work. “We have noted how black employees get sent on leave once they are investigated by the CIIU. Piet du Plessis, the head of revenue, is charged with, among other things, gross misconduct and gross dereliction of duty. Malcolm Joshua, the head of city fleet, was charged with gross and financial misconduct. Yet both these senior employees are still at work. There are other senior people in connection with the city’s billing system and they are yet to be suspended.
A charge sheet dated November 28, 2019 invited Joshua to attend a disciplinary inquiry in uMhlanga on February 12 to answer to allegations of misconduct. It is alleged that on June 10, 2003 he unlawfully and in contravention of the Municipal Systems Act appointed someone as deputy head of technical operations, a position that did not exist in the municipal structure.
