Corruption Watch has launched a blistering attack on Minister of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, accusing her of “abusing and weaponising” disciplinary processes in order to facilitate corruption.
Although no longer employed by the department, another official cited in the report is Vusi Mahlangu, a former employee whom the department fired in June 2016 following a disciplinary hearing. In the letter, Corruption Watch lambasted Nkoana-Mashabane, currently the minister for women, youth and persons with disabilities, saying her decision to reinstate the officials was “capricious and irrational” given the gravity of the charges on which the officials had been convicted.
The letter’s authors, head of legal and investigations, Deborah Mutemwa-Tumbo, and the unit’s lawyer, Caroline James, said the weaponisation of disciplinary action served as a powerful disincentive to other employees who may seek to expose corruption in the administration of land reform projects.Shabane returned to his position last week after he had been fired for serious financial misconduct in 2017.
It was the same with Molefe, “dismissed in 2018 after being identified by the Special Investigating Unit as allegedly playing a role in the corrupt awarding of a tender to an ICT company. We understand that Molefe has since been reinstated to a position in the department,” Corruption Watch said.
I argue that ultimately the president has the authority to stop this kind of behavior, but ramaphosa increasingly appears to be a lame duck president with only empty promises
Eish! these unity ministers..some don't even deserve to be ministers..useless
The problem is that she has a hole in the head, remember she told us and was appointed anyway to be a minister 😳
The day that same Maite rejected land claims of black poor people in Capetown i knew she is an RET force as an identity of her faction but does not give a damm about the process and she knows is personal gains & advancing the gains of friends & her family.A counterrevolutionary
