eThekwini city manager still at work amid claims of sacking
21 December 2016
Durban – eThekwini Municipality city manager S'bu Sithole on Wednesday dismissed claims that he had been fired by Mayor Zandile Gumede.
The Democratic Alliance released a statement on Wednesday saying that Sithole was sacked for blocking "cadre deployment" in key positions within the municipality.
A statement issued by DA KZN leader Zwakele Mcwango said the party had reliably learnt of Sithole's ousting.
"The DA believes that city manager Sithole is the victim of ANC bullying and [the ruling party in the city would] stop at nothing to insert its cadres into government jobs," he said.
