The Gauteng High Court said that it would be 'absurd' for her to expect an end-of-service gratuity payment of around R10 million after having left the office in disgrace.
The Gauteng High Court said that it would be"absurd" for her to expect an end-of-service gratuity payment of around R10 million after having left the office in disgrace.
But on Wednesday, the Gauteng High Court said that it could not agree with her argument that it was irrelevant how she left office in determining whether she should be paid a gratuity. Judge Omphemetse Mooki agreed with the respondents that this did not apply to someone removed from office. "It would be absurd for an employer to be expected to pay a gratuity being a token of appreciation to an employee who left office in disgrace," said Mooki.
