The effect of Covid-19 and the land reform department’s freeze of R23-million because the ITB didn’t comply with budget submissions are cited as some of the reasons for the staff cuts
Mkhwanazi, Mia and four other senior managers had been placed on special leave by Ngwenya earlier this year while an investigation was conducted into them over the extension of a security contract on a tract of ITB land in the Harding area. They contested the special leave in the CCMA and also successfully approached the labour court for intervention after Ngwenya withheld their salaries during the early part of the Covid-19 lockdown.
In terms of the notices, the prevailing economic conditions; the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic and the “implications” of the withholding of state funding, compounded by escalating costs and “inefficiencies and poor rental collection”, meant the entity had to take urgent cost cutting measures. According to the notices, any revenue lost as a result of “negligence, corruption or fraud by any individual” would be recovered from them during this process.
