Premier Job Mokgoro has been called in to intervene in a standoff between senior managers and the administrator at the North West department of community safety and transport in order to avoid total insubordination by setumostone
The group of managers – whose powers have been suspended pending the conclusion of the Section 100 intervention by the central government – have written a memorandum to Mokgoro and MEC Mpho Motlhabane citing a broken relationship with Nqaba Nqandela.
“We cannot tolerate humiliation anymore from an individual who does not assist us to improve on our performance nor make systems effective,” they said. Last year Cabinet expressed concerns on the instability in the North West following a spate of violent protests that forced the governing ANC to recall Mokgoro’s predecessor, Supra Mahumapelo.
Transport spokesperson Ishmael Mnisi said yesterday minister Blade Nzimande was expecting a full report on the interpersonal rift between his administrator and staff. Mnisi said Nzimande explained that since the department was placed under full control of the national transport department, Nqandela had all the powers in terms of decision-making that had previously been held by the HOD, in the same way that Nzimande had assumed the powers of the MEC.He added that the department had not seen the memorandum of grievances circulating – “which no one has owned” – and only knew that a copy was sent to Mokgoro’s office.
“His response was that I don’t report to these people, nor your MEC or any internal structure. I report to the minister. We were so shocked at that response and we just left it there,” they said.
