Thaba Chweu municipality in Mpumalanga was criticised for not filling 130 key vacancies last financial year.
Thaba Chweu local municipality in Mpumalanga has been lambasted for failing to fill 130 vacant positions.
It has been established that the municipality failed to fill the vacancies in the previous financial year., the unoccupied positions include some in finance, technical and engineering, community service and local economic planning.
“Maybe it could be the question of overburdening staff members, therefore leading them not being able to achieve the objectives of rendering services,” said Molepo.“Perhaps they are outsourcing and bringing consultants who then charge the municipality an exorbitant amount of money for jobs which could have been done by the people in those positions.”
He added: “It is important that those in leadership or governance should be able to strike a balance in making sure that the services of the people are being rendered, while they also look at the economic part of that. The leadership needs to fill those vacant positions for them to be able to deliver service to the people of Thaba Chweu municipality.
Msibi said the department was collaborating closely with municipalities to ensure a seamless implementation of the recruitment process with a focus on “maintaining the highest standards of quality and efficiency.”
