A disgruntled Western Cape prosecutor who was not shortlisted for a senior position has failed to interdict his employer.
“[Grootboom] applied for the post of head court control prosecutor Bellville—Malmesbury. A selection committee was properly appointed consisting of four people including Ms Cross.
“It met on August 5 2021, agreed on a set of criteria for shortlisting candidates and proceeded to consider and to score all 139 applications. “Mr Grootboom’s application failed to meet the minimum threshold to be shortlisted. Consequently, he was not included in the shortlist of 14 candidates after scores were allocated.
“An interview report with appropriate recommendations was submitted on October 1 2021. On October 19 2021 Grootboom requested reasons for the decision not to shortlist him and they were provided on the same day.”“In his complaint he alleges, without substantiating the allegation, that Ms Cross is biased against him and asks the court to issue a prohibitory interdict interdicting all three respondents from proceeding with the recruitment process,” he said.
Ntabazalila said Grootboom also wanted the recruitment process to be declared invalid and unlawful and asked the court to compel the NPA to start it afresh, without Cross’s involvement.“The NPA is further of the view that Mr Grootboom’s urgent application is devoid of any substantive merit and lacked legal conformity to be considered urgent,” he said.TimesLIVE
