The Citizen reports that the National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) has called on Limpopo Premier Stan Mathabatha to fire the province’s director-general for alleged irregular expenditure, or he will face a revolt.
The union accused the director-general, Nape Nchabeleng, of leading the premier’s office into R3.9 million of irregular expenditure for the 2015-16 financial year. The expenditure was reflected in the attorney-general’s report for that year and has been rolled over to subsequent financial years. The union pointed out that Mathabatha had fired the previous director-general, Madikolo Rachel Molepo-Modipa, for the same offence after her office accumulated R39,000 of irregular expenditure and said the premier must axe the current director-general or “he, too, must kiss his job goodbye”. “The premier’s office is the mirror of Limpopo and it must lead by example. When such a big office accumulates such irregular expenditure, then the other departments will also follow suit,” Nehawu’s Samson Magomane branch chairperson, Norman Mavhunga, observed. Branch secretary Ndivhuwo Madzusa said the union had written countless letters to the premier requesting that he should treat the matter with the urgency it deserved.
