This is an 'attack' on us by the ANC - Tshwane mayor on underqualified staffer
Tshwane Mayor Solly Msimanga has described the latest scandal over an underqualified executive in his office as an "attack" and an attempt to derail an audit of top City staffers, instituted at his request.
The Citizen reported that Stefan de Villiers, who served as Tshwane's executive head in Msimanga's private office, was appointed without meeting the advertised requirements for the job.
De Villiers has a matric certificate, is a qualified fitness trainer and a bodybuilding champion.
This is the mayor's second employee scandal, after it emerged that his chief of staff Marietha Aucamp was appointed without meeting basic requirements.
Aucamp subsequently resigned.
