Pretoria News reports that Tshwane has made an about-turn on the fate of outgoing city manager Dr Moeketsi Mosola, who was due to vacate his office on Wednesday.
Instead, mayoral spokesperson Omogolo Taunyane said the City had granted Mosola special leave: “This means the city manager remains in his position until August 31, subject to finalising the separation agreement.” Meanwhile, the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) said it had written to MEC Lebogang Maile imploring him to halt payment of any settlement to Mosola. Outa spokesperson Michael Holenstein said they welcomed the MEC’s instruction to Tshwane to explain the terms of the city manager's departure. “We believe Tshwane council should suspend the city manager without compensation and institute disciplinary proceedings against him,” said Holenstein. Mosola is implicated in contravening the Municipal Finance Management Act. He was instrumental in awarding a R12billion contract to consulting firm GladAfrica by incorrectly applying the Municipal Supply Chain Management Regulations, which is in contravention of the legislation. Holenstein said Outa believed paying Mosola a golden handshake was a slap in the face for the residents of Tshwane. The payout was due to be paid on Wednesday and believed to be at least R8-million.
