In July 2011, Johannes Mohlala, second from right, was suspended by then North West finance MEC Louisa Mabe after alleged souring relations between the two and other managers, including 'unbecoming conduct', which Mohlala vehemently denied. Picture: Twitter
The erstwhile municipal manager of Fetakgomo Greater Tubatse municipality in Limpopo was in July 2018 announced by Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga as the head of the national intervention team deployed to stabilise the North West. A year after the department was placed under administration, the North West Standing Committee on Provincial Public Accounts called on the education department to address irregular expenditure of more than R1 billion.
Gavin Edwards, the DA’s spokesperson on education in province, said the team had not succeeded in reaching annual targets and failed to make any meaningful contribution to the department’s financial health, schools infrastructure or quality of education. The municipality is currently embroiled in a record half a billion rand lawsuit instituted against the municipality by an engineer for withholding payments for work done, in which Mohlala was allegedly central to.
It is because of lack of leadership that translate to poor decision taking.
Don't let the ministers, now they know there is something left to steel 😞
Why don’t they this province under administration. Nothing seems to be working
