El comité de Cogta pide una investigación penal sobre anuncios de empleo en Nelson Mandela Bay

El comité parlamentario de Cogta de Sudáfrica ha exigido una investigación penal sobre los anuncios de empleo irregulares emitidos por la metrópolis de Nelson Mandela Bay durante un vacío de liderazgo.

El 6 de mayo, el presidente del comité, el Dr. Zweli Mkhize, cuestionó al director financiero de la metrópolis, Jackson Ngcelwane, sobre una circular interna que anunciaba dos puestos en los Servicios de Tráfico y Licencias. El documento llevaba el nombre y la firma de Ngcelwane como administrador municipal interino, a pesar de que había rechazado el cargo el 4 de mayo debido a un conflicto de intereses. La metrópolis ha carecido de un administrador municipal permanente o interino desde finales de abril. Su administradora municipal suspendida, la Dra. Noxolo Nqwazi, se enfrenta a un juicio por cargos de fraude, corrupción y violaciones de la Ley de Gestión de Finanzas Municipales tras su suspensión en 2024. Después de que el comité solicitara la intervención provincial, Charity Sihunu fue nombrada administradora municipal interina el 12 de mayo hasta el 31 de mayo. Miembros de la Alianza Democrática describieron las circulares como un fraude y pidieron que se abrieran nuevos casos. La alcaldesa ejecutiva, Babalwa Lobishe, dijo que encontraba el asunto inquietante y que seguiría el debido proceso después de que los anuncios fueran retirados.
