News24 reports that while the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) announced Vusimuzi Mkhize as its new CEO on Monday, it said its investigation into former acting CEO Chantal Kisoon was continuing.
Spokesperson Wisani Baloyi explained that the commission's COO was never appointed permanently to the CEO position and therefore the new appointment did not affect the proceedings against her. Kisoon came under fire after senior managers at the commission accused her of referring to them as "black babies" at an operational planning meeting in February. Baloyi said the commission took allegations of racism and discrimination seriously. The commission suspended Kisoon earlier this month following consultations with the senior managers to gather relevant facts and the context in which she allegedly made the comments. "Noting the egregious nature of the allegation against the acting CEO, commissioners resolved to immediately initiate an investigation into the incident, to be conducted by an independent person who will report back to the commissioners with findings and recommendations," the SAHRC indicated.
