SowetanLive reports that the appointment of Morris Maluleke as the municipal manager of Mogalakwena local municipality has been declared unlawful by the Limpopo High Court.
Judge Geritt Muller delivered the judgment on Tuesday after a group of residents made two separate applications to have Maluleke’s appointment set aside. The judgment came just 13 days after Maluleke started work in the municipality in Mokopane. Muller said the selection panel that had shortlisted and interviewed candidates had not been appointed according to council rules, meaning that Maluleke occupied the position unlawfully. He ruled the screening, shortlisting and interviews conducted by the panel had been tainted due to a failure by council to comply with the rules. “I’m of the view that the process in the appointment of the 7th Respondent (Maluleke) was tainted to the extent that it is unlawful and should be set aside,” Muller indicated.
