The acting CEO of the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR), 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.
The dispute has also turned nasty, with criminal charges being brought against the secretary, Mamankoane Tabane, for holding on to her company laptop even as the Labour Court reinstated her.
On 8 March, Acting Judge Faan Coetzee in the Johannesburg Labour Court ruled that Tabane should return to work at the RSR, where she is employed as Executive – Legal Services and Governance, which encompasses being company secretary.
