The City of Tshwane has fired suspended Chief Audit Executive Moeketsi Ntsimane for misconduct.
Executive Mayor of Tshwane Randall Williams on Monday said he terminated Ntsimane’s contract after the conclusion of a “disciplinary process”.
Ntsimane was suspended by Council on 18 January 2021 after allegations of sexual harassment were levelled against him.
The mayor said the City formally charged Ntsimane with allegations of misconduct and convened a disciplinary hearing on 19 April 2021.
“Ntsimane then brought an urgent application before the Labour Court wherein he argued that his suspension must be uplifted and the disciplinary hearing is annulled,” said Williams.
“The City opposed the Labour Court application. On 10 May 2021, the Labour Court delivered its judgment where the application brought by Ntsimane was dismissed with cost.”
The disciplinary processes regarding this matter then proceeded.
“At the end of March 2022, the presiding officer of this process released a final report where he pronounced a sanction of dismissal,” said Williams.
“The outcome of this disciplinary process was then tabled before Council last Thursday and Council summarily approved the termination of Mr. Ntsimane’s contract.”
