Sexual harassment complaints against NTI manager ‘ignored’
A financial clerk who alleges she was fired after spurning sexual advances by her manager at the embattled state-owned Northwest Transport Investment (NTI) is demanding reinstatement. She has requested the assistance of the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) in her fight for justice.
For 15 months, Andisa Thubana worked for the NTI, with the understanding that her temporary position would be made permanent. But in October, she was told that her contract would not be renewed again.
In a two-page statement that Thubana wrote to her union, Numsa, she claims her former boss, Presley Maleka, had made sexual advances and harassed her constantly. She believes she was fired because of her refusal to entertain his advances.
