15 October 2013
Mpumalanga Premier David
Mabuza has released the former Mpumalanga Community Safety, Security
and Liaison head of the department Thulani Sibuyi from his duties
with effect from today [Tuesday, 15 October 2013].
Premier Mabuza reached an
amicable solution with Mr Sibuyi after both acknowledged and
accepted that personal problems damagingly affected his work
portfolio.
“After having some discussions with the HOD, we felt that he should recuse himself from his position since his responsibility of leadership has been compromised by his personal problems,” said Mabuza.
Mabuza explained that an
acting head of department would be appointment soon while other
processes of employing a permanent head of department are
continuing.
“In his first case we wanted to leave those matters to court; however recent allegations have compelled us to give him time to reflect and clear himself. We received his resignation letter and we have accepted it,” said Mabuza.
The Premier has appreciated
Mr Sibuyi’s contribution in the provincial government of Mpumalanga
in the past two-and-a-half years and wished him well in his future
endeavours.
