City Press reports that the directors of the nonprofit organisation, Meals on Wheels Community Services, have suspended their controversial CEO following the presentation of an allegedly damning forensic investigation report into her previous work experience.
Meals on Wheels CEO Nelisa Mabenge was apparently suspended in the early hours of Sunday morning after the board held a late-night meeting to discuss the findings of an investigation by Mazars. Mabenge was investigated following whistleblowers’ complaints that she lied by claiming in her CV that she had worked as President Cyril Ramaphosa’s adviser. The Presidency has denied that Mabenge ever worked there. The board sat until 3:45am and nine board members voted for her suspension. Mabenge was appointed in March last year. She claimed in her CV that she worked as a strategic adviser in the office of the Presidency from 2018 to 2020. But, the organisation’s employees doubted Mabenge’s claim after noticing that she acted starstruck in front of Ramaphosa. “There is no way a person can behave like that in front of his former boss, taking selfies and being all over,” an employee remarked.
