The acting CEO of the Railway Safety Regulator , Tshepo Kgare, was found by her board to have acted unlawfully and unfairly in terminating the employment of the company secretary. Yet the board has taken no action. Kgare is one of four candidates for permanent appointment as RSR CEO.
Tabane’s last day at work was to be 5 February. But Tabane disputed Kgare’s authority to dismiss her and disputed the reasons Kgare provided. Tabane waited for two weeks. Kgare did not implement the board’s decision and the board did nothing. Tabane then went to Labour Court, filing papers on 24 February.
In a statement on 5 March given to Midrand police, Tabane said that contrary to Mokasi’s claims, the only item that she had in her possession was her company laptop. Tabane also claimed that Mokasi had lied under oath, concealing the fact that according to the board resolution Tabane remained in the employ of the RSR .
But Kgare did not comply. On 9 March 2021, Kgare filed a notice of leave to appeal the Labour Court Order, and on 25 March, two weeks after the Labour Court ruling, Kgare filed submissions to appeal the judgment.
