TimesLIVE reports that disciplinary action is to be taken against staff at Robben Island Museum after an investigation into allegations of mismanagement found a prima facie case for disciplinary steps.
The Ex-Political Prisoners Association (EPPA) has for years bemoaned the state of management at the island, a world heritage site where political prisoners including former president Nelson Mandela and other liberation veterans were held. The state attorney appointed MacRobert Attorneys in June 2020 to conduct an independent investigation into allegations of wrongdoing by the island’s management. The report was handed to the Robben Island Museum council on Monday with recommendations that included starting a disciplinary process. A statement from council chair Khensani Maluleke indicated: “The recommendations are still to be implemented, so at this point in time we can confirm that the investigation revealed evidence which sustains a prima facie case for disciplinary steps, in relation to one of the allegations.” Maluleke went on to say: “Out of respect of the RIM employees concerned, potential witnesses and the integrity of the disciplinary process as a whole, no further information can responsibly be provided at this stage.”
