Ugu suspends municipal manager, DD Naidoo

At a special council meeting convened yesterday (November 23), municipal manager, Mr DD Naidoo was suspended with immediate effect.

 

“”This decision was taken by council after careful consideration of the representations made by Mr DD Naidoo after he was recently served with a notice of an intention to suspend,” said municipal spokesman, France Zama.

 

According to Mr Zama, the suspension of the municipal manager served as part of the protracted measures being undertaken by the municipality to diligently process all the matters contained in the Section 106 report which was conducted by Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA).

 

Council has also appointed Mr Sibusiso Sithole as Acting Municipal Manager until further notice.

 

“The municipality is conscious of the fact that matters it is currently dealing with may invoke public interest and raise anxiety levels among interested parties. Municipal leadership is carefully instituting all due processes in dealing with the matters contained in the report, therefore requests for tolerance and calm during this period,” said Mr Zama.
