While pressure mounts on the Amathole district municipality council to rescind its resolution to have Dr Thandekile Mnyimba reappointed as municipal manager, a group of 131 employees have turned to the court in a bid to have the reappointment declared invalid and set aside. The workers have enlisted the services of lawyer Wesley Pretorius, and have since filed court papers in a bid to block Mnyimba’s reappointment, on grounds that he is allegedly not fit for the R2m a year job.
The company that built the shoddy R15m Lesseyton stadium may be forced to repay monies received from the contract if the Enoch Mgijima municipality acts on the recommendations of the probe into its construction.
