The New Age reports that the SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) in Limpopo wants a senior official suspended from the office of the Sekhukhune district municipality after allegations were made of sexual harassment.
The union’s deputy provincial secretary Ronald Mani said: "Samwu has learned with shock and utter dismay about the alleged sexual harassment and ill conduct of the Sekhukhune district municipality's director of corporate services. The alleged sex pest has for a very long time treated the municipality as his personal fiefdom, wantonly ill-treating workers and dismissing them for flimsy and ridiculous reasons devoid of substance and facts." The official will be appearing in the Groblersdal Magistrate's Court on 26 May after he missed an earlier court appearance. The union called for the mobilisation of all workers, particularly women in the district and Limpopo in general, to support the victim who brought the case.
