Following allegations that Cape Town City Ballet’s CEO was ‘irregularly and un-procedurally pushed out’, the 89-year-old arts institution is in disarray. The ongoing mediation process has been riddled with challenges leaving 32 dancers unsure of their future.Cape Town City Ballet has 50 employees and is one of the biggest employers of ballet dancers in the country. Its productions have toured internationally and attract international talent.
Mahomed told GroundUp that, in his view, the charges of maladministration against Turner were overblown and mainly revolved around a R5 000 overspend on a budget line item. Mahomed also said that the board has not been compliant: Annual General Meetings have not been held, and there are no board charter or workplace policies in place.
Three board members then resigned from the board, including the chairperson Suzette Raymond. Despite having resigned, Raymond then convened a meeting to discuss the new conditions that were suggested by the board member. Mahomed resigned on 14 April. “I was not going to sit on a board that had no ethics and was not operating according to good governance principles,’ Mahomed told GroundUp.
‘We, the dancers…are proud of our association with CTCB, and are honoured to provide an artistic service to the general public…,’ they wrote. The Cape Philharmonic Orchestra regularly performs with the CTCB and was expecting to be part of their upcoming performances of Carmen, due to start in June, and Don Quixote, planned to run in August. But the orchestra’s CEO Louis Heyneman told GroundUp that the orchestra’s initial quotation was rejected and the booking has not yet been confirmed. He said he is unsure about whether the orchestra will be performing.
