The Johannesburg Roads Agency has hired a CEO who claims a Harvard master’s degree that doesn’t exist and demands his staff call him ‘Dr’ Tshepo Mahanuke on the strength of an honorary doctorate you can buy for a small donation.
Staff at the JRA are racking up sick leave as the workplace turns toxic: the latest report to the council shows staff have taken 1,910 sick-leave days compared with 1,530 annual leave days.Mahanuke’s qualifications are either lies or overstated in the documents that got him a R3.5-million-a-year job for which he is wholly underqualified, aHere are the details:
His resumé says he received his “undergraduate engineering degree from the Vaal University of Technology ”, but it is, in fact, a diploma for a course to become an engineering technician. This is an under-qualification for the complex job of fixing the country’s largest city road network. Asked why Mahanuke is paid R3.5-million a year when Monakedi was paid R2.5-million, the entity said: “The Section 56 employees and related acts are remunerated as per the Cogta guidelines and CoJ policies, therefore, in determining the pay for the CEO the principles inherent in the policies and guidelines were applied.” Mahanuke does not have the qualifications or experience to explain the big bump up.pointed out to the JRA that Mahanuke’s CV claims are overblown.
“However, if this is an honorary doctorate awarded by TIUA, the conditions for the use of the title are different. Universities offer the honorary doctorate for a range of reasons. The convention at South African universities as well as at other universities around the world is that the title ‘Dr’ may only be used by the honorary graduate in communications or references that are specifically associated with the university where the honorary doctorate was granted.

HermanMashaba , you said people should be employed on merit not connection. Please fix this.
It is not convention to call honorary doctors, doctor.
What a disgrace! Zero respect for the public and zero accountability in recruiting appropriately competent leaders.
What a shitshow... but I cannot say I am surprised. As the French say: 'Les chiens ne font pas des chats.'

If the allegations are true, both Mahanuke & the JRA committed fraud - prosecute them!
