REGULATOR BATTLE: Suspended property industry watchdog CEO draws legal dagger with human settlements minister
Nigeria Nigeria Latest News,Nigeria Nigeria Headlines

Mamodupi Mohlala has dragged the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority board and Human Settlements Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi to the Johannesburg High Court to challenge her recent suspension.

The suspended CEO of the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority , Mamodupi Mohlala, is not going quietly.

Mohlala’s central arguments in court documents are tied to recent legislative changes that govern the affairs of the PPRA. Mohlala also argued that Kubayi didn’t have the power to appoint a new board because the old Estate Agency Affairs Act gave the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition the authority to install a new board, and not her.

But the tenure of Mohlala, who was appointed in February 2019 on a five-year contract that is set to end in February 2024, is not without controversy. The PPRA board said it gave Mohlala enough time to respond to the allegations against her. But it found that her responses were “not adequately and convincingly dispelling the allegations levelled against” her.She has accused two members of the board of interfering in the PPRA’s procurement procedures when they didn’t have the authority or mandate to do so. This alleged interference happened when she was the CEO.

The old Board that appointed her was appointed by Human Settlement Minister & all others boards before her 2019 appointment.See has been for 3 years been reporting to the Human Settlement Portfolio Committee. All the state law advisers are stupid.The Act was enacted in Sep 2019

This is nothing,alongside this I can expect emails with malicious damaging information & lies about the Chair,the board, the Minister and anybody.Those emails will be sent to REBOSA, NPC, PARLIAMENT, PRESIDENT from an anonymous person.MADNESS At least this board is decisive.BRAVO

By the way the PPRA suspension media release is clear it's says ' precautionary suspension' and there is provision for that in the Labour Relations Act.Even this very same high court stance justifies or puts weight on that precautionary suspension.Just saying with no law degree.

So on the 1st Feb 2021 the CEO launches the PPRA with the Minister with a smile.She never advised this board & Minister mmkubayi of the illegality,officiated the PPRA launch now all of a sunday🤣 it's illegal.She was part of an illegal act. INTERESTING
