Durban - The number of suspected âghost employeesâ in the Msunduzi Municipality is now down to just 13.
Exco members were informed during a meeting on Thursday that more employees had presented themselves for verification over the past few days, and there were now just 13 employees who still needed to be verified.
This is down from 121 two weeks ago.
The municipality is doing a headcount of all its staff members to determine if all staff are present and accounted for.
Two weeks ago, the administrator, Scelo Duma, said he had given a directive to freeze the salaries of 121 individuals because they had failed to present themselves for the headcount despite being given several opportunities to do so.
