New Amathole District Municipality municipal manager Dr Bhekisisa Mthembu has a daunting task of turning around the troubled authority which faces serious challenges including vacant senior managerial posts.
According to railway ministry data, as on February 1, the total number of vacant posts increased by 21,837 this year in both gazetted and non-gazetted categories.
The criminal justice system is plagued with a huge backlog of cases which can be remedied only if vacancies of public prosecutors are filled up at the earliest, the Court said.
Resentment is brewing in the top echelons of Maharashtra Police over the State Home Department’s failure to fill vacant posts of the Director General rank.
