Long delays in disciplining Gauteng health personnel
8 September 2019
The Gauteng Health Department has 84 disciplinary cases that date back more than six months, and two cases have dragged on for more than a year.
This is revealed by Gauteng Health MEC Bandile Masuku in a written reply to my questions in the Gauteng Legislature.
The one case that has lasted more than a year involves remuneration of work outside working hours, and the other one involves acting beyond authority, fraudulent travelling claims and non-compliance to policy.
Furthermore, 18 officials have been paid R2 052 464 while suspended on full pay.
