The Democratic Alliance constituency head in the municipality has called for an investigation into the exorbitant leave days claim
The Gauteng Provincial Legislature has heard how a municipal administrator bagged a large payout for accumulated leave days.
Democratic Alliance members of the legislature were perplexed and said the anomaly was indicative of the precarious financial position the municipality finds itself in.The payment was revealed by Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Member of the Executive Council Jacob Mamabolo in a written response to a question posed by DA members.
Mamabolo admitted this was in violation of the municipality’s leave administration policy, but added that no other employees had cashed in such a manner since the payout. “Any leave in excess of this is forfeited at the end of the leave cycle unless it was accrued due to operational purposes,” he added.
