News24 reports that embattled Tshwane city manager Moeketsi Mosola finally signed a separation agreement, which saw him vacate his position effective on 31 August.
The City made the announcement on Friday afternoon, the same day that an extended employment deadline was meant to come to an end. At a council sitting on 25 July, a resolution was passed to enter into a separation agreement with Mosola and Tshwane Mayor Stevens Mokgalapa was authorised to finalise the agreement with him effective as of 31 July. Mosola, however, did not sign the agreement by the end of July, and was granted an extension by Mokgalapa until 30 August. He was also granted "special leave". It was previously reported Mosola would leave his post several million rand richer. Mosola was responsible for the controversial GladAfrica project management contract, which the Auditor-General and independent legal opinions found to have been be irregularly awarded. It was eventually declared irregular expenditure. A mayoral spokesperson advised that Lorette Tredoux would remain on as acting city manager. She was appointed by Mosola before he took his "special leave" at the end of July.
