News24 reports that Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi has suspended the provincial community safety head of department, Nontsikelelo Sisulu, and the department’s chief financial officer, Mduduzi Malope.
In a statement, Lesufi announced that the suspensions, effective immediately, were due to financial irregularities uncovered by the provincial Forensic Audit Unit, which operates within the premier’s office. He explained that the suspensions were a precautionary measure to enable fair and impartial investigations. On Sunday, Lesufi announced that he had reshuffled certain heads of departments in the Gauteng government due to under-expenditure, underperformance, lifestyle audits, and failures to meet performance targets in some cases. The shake-up followed recommendations from the Gauteng Ethics Advisory Council and the Gauteng government’s failure to spend about R1.3 billion of its own funding. Lesufi further released 39 out of 177 forensic reports examining serious offences and improper behaviour across multiple departments. The reports cover a wide range of misconduct, from criminal acts to minor breaches of conduct.
