Suspended Amatola Water chief executive officer Vuyo Zitumane has faced off with board members at the state-owned entity in her two-year stint and seemingly wiped the floor with them.
Her suspension is one of the contentious issues that have raised questions about Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu’s running of the department.
The minister is also armed with several investigative reports putting Zitumane’s widespread “Mrs Fix It” media title into question. We understand that the minister’s decision was prompted mainly by her concern to avert a threatened strike.In the middle of the disciplinary process, said the board, more whistle-blower information led to another investigation by PWC and a private investigator, and “uncovered that Tololo was previously sentenced to eight years for armed robbery”, which he had not disclose to his employers.When she came in as chief executive in 2018, Zitumane opposed the appeals.
“We understand that the minister’s decision was prompted mainly by her concern to avert a threatened strike,” said the board. Zitumane alleged that Amatola Water had been captured by Mdekazi, including members for the board dissolved at the weekend. She accused him of lobbying unions, local ANC leaders and businesspeople against her to further his agenda.
