KZN prisons boss suspended, but not over Bosasa allegations - DCS
24 January 2019
KwaZulu-Natal prisons boss Mnikelwa Nxele has been suspended, but apparently not because of allegations levelled against him in this week's state capture inquiry.
Department of Correctional Services (DCS) spokesperson Logan Maistry on Thursday said the "precautionary suspension" was not related to former Bosasa executive Angelo Agrizzi's testimony.
"It was the culmination of a process that began earlier this month before the state capture inquiry. The department is unable to provide further details, as this matter related to an employment relationship."
Nxele is the latest high ranking official to be implicated in state capture this week where he was alleged to have taken bribes of around R57 500 per month.
