News24 reports that Johannesburg Road Agency (JRA) Chief Executive Officer Tshepo Mahanuke has been suspended following questions about the credibility of his qualifications.
In a statement released on Friday, the JRA said Mahanuke's credentials had been presented to the board at a special meeting convened in December last year. According to the statement, the Independent Re-Authentication Report found that the CEO had a case to answer regarding his qualifications to hold office. "This [has] led to the board's resolution to place the CEO on suspension as he had previously been placed on leave. At this stage, the board is not at liberty to reveal the preliminary findings as this matter has now been handed over to a firm of attorney to handle. The legal counsel has committed to stringent timelines which will ensure speedy finalisation of this matter," said JRA chairperson Thabo Motloung. It was previously reported that the City of Johannesburg had thrown its support behind Mahanuke amid questions over his qualifications. Daily Maverick reported that Mahanuke claimed to have a degree that doesn't exist. Luis Nel, an engineer by profession, has since been appointed as acting CEO.
