Among the allegations made against Nontembeko Boyce was that she opted to use her own vehicle in order to claim more mileage money; hired friends and ANC comrades; and was victimising staff who were against her alleged iron-fist rule.
Boyce was speaking on Tuesday in response to a litany of allegations made against her by an anonymous whistleblower in a letter sent to the IFP’s chief whip in the legislature.
“When I became the speaker, I was informed that the car used by the previous speaker had reached 120 000 kilometres and had been referred to the disposal committee. Boyce further defended the employment of an executive manager for the parliamentary service, saying contrary to Gwala’s claims in an open letter, it was done in accordance with the laws guiding her office.
“A product thereof who is the current incumbent of this position, has grown through the ranks of the legislature since joining the institution in 2006 and met the requirements,” she said.
