BusinessLive reports that the disciplinary hearings for 11 public works officials alleged to be implicated in overspending on President Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla home are expected to start at the end of this month.
The Public Servants Association of SA (PSA) is representing the officials at the disciplinary hearings, which began more than a year-and-a-half ago. They were postponed after media houses applied to the high court for access to proceedings. Times Media Group, Media24 and the Mail & Guardian have been granted access. An official date for the hearings has not been set yet, but parties have agreed that once the hearings start, they will sit until the hearings are complete. The officials are facing charges relating to maladministration, misconduct and violating departmental procedures.
