The Public Service Commission has taken North West Health MEC Madoda Sambatha to task for being referee and player in the irregular appointment of a chief director for supply chain management in the health department
The Public Service Commission has taken North West Health MEC Madoda Sambatha to task for being referee and player in the irregular appointment of a chief director for supply chain management in the health department – a senior management job with an annual salary of more than R1 million.
The commission found that Sambatha should not have instructed members of the interview panel not to exercise their power to make recommendations on who to appoint, saying it was “irregular in that recruitment policies generally instruct that there should be a candidate who is recommended as the best”.
City Press has learnt that Sambatha also pushed back against the PSC, threatening to take the report to court if it was not retracted.Sambatha’s allies said this meant that “there is a stalemate on the report and it cannot be implemented”. Others did not meet the minimum requirements, including Makhubu — whose lack of a driver’s licence was overlooked because he has a disability, but the reasons were never recorded.Some members of the interview panel were added or removed irregularly, including external members.
The reason the panel came up with three names without choosing one as the preferred candidate was because “all three of them are appointable”, the source said.
