Tshwane mayoral spokesperson fired over 'irregular' appointment
4 March 2019
City of Tshwane mayoral spokesperson Samkelo Mgobozi has been fired with immediate effect.
Mgobozi confirmed his axing to News24 on Monday, saying he was informed of the decision last week through a letter sent to him by municipal manager Moeketsi Mosola.
In the letter, which News24 has seen, Mosola tells the former mayoral spokesperson that there was no other "option", as his appointment was at odds with legislation and a collective agreement.
"In essence, the Auditor-General (AG) has found that your appointment was irregular and that the payment of your salary constitutes irregular expenditure," explained Mosola to Mgobozi.
