BusinessLive reports that the National Health Education and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) in the Eastern Cape is mulling court action to compel the legislature’s speaker to release a "jobs-for-sex" probe report.
The report looks into claims that managers at the legislature and various departments have offered jobs or promotions to subordinates in exchange for sex. Managers at the Bhisho local municipality, who were implicated in the report, tried unsuccessfully to have the courts block the release of the report. Nonetheless, the office of Premier Phumulo Masualle has still kept the report under wraps. The union was at its wits’ end over the secrecy with which the report was being handled, Nehawu Eastern Cape secretary Miki Jaceni said. In a statement last week, the Eastern Cape government said: "Premier Masualle is appealing for space for the investigative processes he commissioned to be allowed to conclude without interference and hindrance, and for all to resist the temptation to pre-empt their outcomes."
