The chief financial officer of the City of Ekurhuleni, Gugu Malaza, has resigned, bringing and end to a disciplinary process against her.
Malaza and the City of Ekurhuleni has reached an amicable decision to part ways, said Themba Gadebe, spokesperson for the metro.
“The resignation was adopted by council at its ordinary sitting on March 28.
Malaza was suspended in October last year.
Malaza had been suspended pending the finalisation of an investigation into alleged non-disclosure of information regarding her dismissal from the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) as required by Regulation 11 of the Systems Act of 2000.
At the time of her appointment in 2017, the City said: “With her 14 years experience as a chartered accountant (CA), coupled with 17 years of financial management and accounting experience, as well as her experience in formulating and implementing global strategies – both operational and financial – the City of Ekurhuleni is satisfied she is the best candidate for the position of CFO.”
The Mail & Guardian in March 2014 reported the SABC had dismissed Malaza as its chief financial officer, three years prior to her appointment at The City of Ekurhuleni.
According to the Mail & Guardian, she was suspended in September 2012 in connection with procurement and financial irregularities.
