ANC clueless yet again
The ANC's statement today regarding a so-called ‘ ‘witch-hunt against black professionals'in the City of Cape Town once again exposes Tony Ehrenreich's ineptitude. It is a classic example of Ehrenreich wearing two caps as both ANC Caucus Leader and provincial COSATU Secretary-General. His statement is nothing more than proof of the fact that he is failing hopelessly in both roles.
If Mr Maqetuka and Advocate Mayimele-Hathastse need representation by a shop steward, Tony Ehrenreich would be a very bad choice.
The alleged ‘spate of resignations' has in fact been the voluntary resignation of two Executive Directors out of the 11 Executive Directors in the City of Cape Town.
The resignations of both Advocate Mayimele-Hashatse and Mr Maqetuka were not at all related to their performance. Instead, they both resigned of their own volition for personal reasons. The Public Protector can therefore investigate these resignations with pleasure and conduct interviews about said personal reasons.
The post for a senior manager in the Corporate Services Directorate was null and void because the Executive Director did not follow due process. The accusations regarding the appointment of a senior manager to drive employment equity being taken away from Advocate Mayimele- Hashatse are therefore devoid of the truth.
