The SAHRC summoned Gauteng MEC for sports Faith Mazibuko to appear before it over possible abuse of the Bill of Rights after she berated her senior managers in a meeting.
Johannesburg - The South African Human Rights Commission on Monday summoned Gauteng member of the executive council for sports Faith Mazibuko to appear before it over possible abuse of the Bill of Rights after she berated her senior managers in a meeting.
She screamed at managers, telling them to make sure that sports facilities, referred to as combi courts, were constructed in specified communities as soon as possible, ignoring legal and tender processes. But Mazibuko demanded that the facilities be constructed because she wanted "to use them to campaign to win elections".
Mazibuko will appear before the commission on Tuesday to allow it to fully assess the matter and clarify remarks attributed to her in the audio recording.
