Monica Mathibela is believed to be a candidate shortlisted for the position of municipal manager at the Dr JS Moroka municipality in Mpumalanga - one of the worst-performing municipalities in the country.
The DA says a former municipal manager at a Limpopo municipality should not be considered for a similar position at another public entity. File photo.The DA in Limpopo says it would be “unfair” and unlawful to appoint a former municipal manager who was implicated in the illegal investment of public money in the VBS Mutual Bank to a similar position at another municipality.
Sowetan reported that a forensic report into the municipality had recommended that Mathibela be suspended for three months without pay. “What she did was against the law and it’s not fair that she should now be considered for a position at another municipality, because she stole from the previous municipality.”
“During the interviews we ask people about them being involved in criminal cases or whatever. She [Mathibela] explained that that thing was there and it has been cleared,” Mtsweni said.According to Sowetan, the Mpumalanga government's provincial executive committee resolved to place the municipality under administration after months of infighting which had hampered service delivery.
