City of Johannesburg's acting manager Mesuli Mlandu has issued a directive that the 130 employees whose contracts were converted into permanent employment will as from May no longer be on the city's payroll.
In a directive issued to the city's corporate shared services executive director on Wednesday, Mlandu said the municipality's officials were bound to implement the council resolution taken on February 25.
“The fixed-term contracts which were tainted by an irregular and improper action of conversion have been regularised by the said resolution and were restored to their original form and must be recognised as such in the city's HRM [human resources management] systems. In his memo, Mlandu said the affected employees failed to successfully challenge the council resolution, both internally and externally.
Since the council resolution, several media briefings have been held, some in support of the workers, with numerous media statements also released, accusing the DA-led coalition of purging “young black professionals” to make space for “white from the Western Cape”.
