Public works director-general was suspended after being accused of awarding irregular contracts for state funerals
After winning a two-year battle to have his suspension declared unlawful and lifted, public works director-general Sam Vukela will still not be returning to work.
In March 2020, President Cyril Ramaphosa, whose prerogative it is to hire and fire directors-general, gave De Lille the go-ahead to take action against Vukela who was accused of awarding irregular contracts for state funerals, including that of struggle stalwart Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. “There is absolutely no fair reason for the continuation of the applicant’s suspension. If anything, the continuation of the suspension is arbitrary and egregious. It is appropriate, therefore, that the respondents lift the suspension and permit him to return to work.
“He didn’t return to work on Monday. There was a communication that was sent to the attorney to say that he must consult his attorneys to assess his options. That is the position we are in right now, despite the fact that there is an award which they are seemingly not interested in,” said Kaka.
