R3. 3m awarded to municipal manager amid VBS corruption scandal
The West Rand District Municipality must pay its former municipal manager R3.3 million for terminating his contract despite him facing corruption charges of unlawfully investing R347m of its funds with the VBS Mutual Bank. Image: West Rand District Municipality / Facebook Former West Rand District municipal manager Moroashike Mokoena is set to be paid nearly R3.3 million by the municipality for terminating his contract while facing corruption charges of unlawfully investing R347m with the VBS Mutual Bank. Mokoena, 64, along with former chief financial officer (CFO) Romeo Mohaudi and erstwhile income and expenditure manager Mzwandile Mkhize, were arrested in June 2021 by the Hawks. Mokoena faces charges of authorising the municipality to invest more than R347m with the now defunct financial institution and the approval of various investment policies from time to time in contravention of the Municipal Financial Management Act (MFMA). At the time, the Hawks stated that Mohaudi caused R50m to be invested with VBS in contravention of the MFMA and the investment policy adopted by the Merafong Local Municipality.

Next Stay Close ✕ The elaborate scheme saw the senior managers allegedly facilitating the investments and receiving corrupt gratifications from VBS officials through motor vehicle finance and mortgage bond facilities, as well as several other payments. Mokoena and the other former officials were later released on R50,000 bail each by the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court. Hawks spokesperson Colonel Katlego Mogale said the case will return to the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, next month for the continuation of the trial. Earlier, the West Rand District Municipality had, through an October 2019 council resolution, suspended Mokoena for three months based on how he managed the appointment process for the CFO. In December 2019, an investigation commissioned by the municipality recommended that Mokoena face disciplinary action should it be established that his contract has not lapsed. The following month, the municipality informed Mokoena that his appointment had lapsed in terms of the Municipal Systems Act after accusing him of failing to sign his performance agreement within 60 days, and as a consequence, there was no valid and binding contract of employment. Mokoena then referred an unfair dismissal dispute to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration, and a certificate of outcome certifying the matter as unresolved was issued. He then approached the Labour Court in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, to review and set aside the council resolution and to declare the termination of employment invalid. The Labour Court found that the municipality's letter informing Mokoena that his contract, which ran from December 2016 to November 2021, had lapsed was based on an incorrect interpretation of the law and facts. 'The applicant's (Mokoena's) contract of employment did not lapse as alleged. His contract of employment was therefore terminated by the first respondent (municipality), and that act of termination was invalid. Accordingly, the applicant's contract of employment remained extant (in existence) and he is therefore entitled to his declaratory relief,' Judge Molatelo Makhura ruled last month. The judge said that in the event that Mokoena's appointment lapsed, the municipality was duty-bound to allow him to show good cause, but failed to do so. Judge Makhura stated that he could not order Mokoena to resume his duties, and the municipality cannot be ordered to permit him to resume his duties because the fixed period has expired. He said the appropriate relief was the payment of Mokoena's remuneration for the remainder of his contract, between January 17, 2020 and November, 30 2021, which is an amount of just above R3.28m. 'The termination of the applicant's fixed-term contract of employment on January 17, 2020 is hereby declared invalid and/or void ab initio (from the beginning). 'It is declared that the fixed-term contract of employment between the applicant (Mokoena) and the first respondent (West Rand District Municipality) remained extant (in existence) and the applicant remained the first respondent's employee and municipal manager until 30 November 2021,' ordered Judge Makhura. Mokoena's successor as municipal manager, Elias Koloi, said he was on leave and undertook to delegate another official to respond, but no response was forthcoming. Abner Mabaso, Mokoena's legal representative, referred questions to the municipality.

Government under fire for splashing on employees' salaries
'For us to effectively compete with the Chinese, our salary structure must be similar.' Critics slam the South African government for allowing many of its employees to take home millions in salaries, while most of the ordinary citizens struggle to make ends meet. Public servants' salary increases are being implemented while most cities are collapsing right in the eyes of the world. This raises the question about the government's priorities. Many have suggested that instead of increasing public servants' salaries, the money can be used to repair or replace collapsing infrastructure. ALSO READ: More than R140 million in salaries paid to suspended government employees Increase salaries or fix the city? Moeletsi Mbeki, political economist, criticised the government on the State of the Nation podcast for the high salaries of employees. He highlighted that the money can be used to fix railway tracks, towns, roads, and water infrastructure. 'They are not building new railway tracks; they are destroying them. Instead of creating new towns. They are allowing the road, water, and electricity infrastructure to collapse while they tax the rest of the economy to pay themselves phenomenal salaries.' Mbeki was referring to the National Treasury's 2023 Medium Term Budget Policy, which outlined that 55 000 government employees take home more than R1 million per year in salaries. Government employees salaries breakdown The government employees that are being referred to include teachers, healthcare workers, police officers, military personnel, employees in national, provincial, and local government, as well as public entities and state-owned companies. National Treasury's 2023 Medium Term Budget Policy showed that most of the public servants moved into higher-earning categories, because of the higher cost-of-living adjustment. The number of employees who earn more than R1 million per year increased from 10 000 to over 55 000 in ten years. While 48% of employees earn between R350 000 and R600 000 per year. ALSO READ: Here's what some of South Africa's SOE bosses earn Salaries must be cut Mbeki in the podcast said the salaries of South Africa's government employees must be cut to align with those of key competitors. 'For us to effectively compete with the Chinese, our salary structure must be similar.' In the interview, he rejects the need for transformation, and calls for urgent, practical development — from green energy and infrastructure renewal to education reform and economic reindustrialisation. He argues the ANC's legacy has been one of mismanagement and elite enrichment, with South Africa's African middle-class prioritising 'eating' over nation-building. However, Mbeki remains hopeful, believing that new leadership and vehicles for progress will emerge. Public servants earn more than doctors Jacques van Wyk, CEO of JGL Forensic Services, argued in a post that most public servants earn more than qualified doctors. JGL Forensic Services is an internationally recognised forensic services company helping businesses and government departments develop ethical, sustainable practices. He said the public servants' salaries have put massive pressure on government finances. Rewarding a job well done 'I'm all for rewarding a job well done, but you don't have to look very far to see that South Africa's civil service is not doing its job very well at all,' said van Wyk. He made reference to Dawie Roodt, Chief Economist of the Efficient Group, on his view about how public servants are paid. 'We have approximately 1.3 million civil servants in South Africa, and they are mostly overpaid and underworked. The big question is, what can be done to improve government efficiency? We spend a huge amount of money on the whole state machinery, and this economy simply cannot keep on carrying this massive burden.' Van Wyk agrees with Roodt that 'the solution is not to suck more money out of the system, but rather to put policies in place to spend less.'

City of Joburg told to address wasteful expenditure
JOHANNESBURG - National Treasury has sent a letter to the City of Johannesburg, warning the city about unauthorised, irregular, fruitless, and wasteful expenditure to the tune of R22 billion. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has written to Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero. He's given him two weeks to address the issue. Former Joburg Mayor Mpho Phalatse says the current issues within the city of gold signal a collapse of good governance and a failure of internal controls. "For the minister to intervene proves that at a departmental level the heads are not doing their job. It means the MEC overseeing those portfolios are not doing their job. Additionally it shows that the cities council is frustrated from asking questions and not getting any response," she says. She said the city is currently on auto pilot with a lot of rampant looting and that it is time for someone to step in.
