    Naidoo on one month’s suspension

    At a confidential Council meeting held at City Hall on Friday 6 December, councillors decided to suspend the Municipal Manager Dr Pravine Naidoo for a period of one month. 

    At a confidential Council meeting held at City Hall on Friday 6 December, councillors decided to suspend the Municipal Manager Dr Pravine Naidoo for a period of one month. 

    Last month a similar Council meeting suspended him for seven days but that suspension was revoked after only one day when lawyers advised council that the suspension had not followed correct procedures.

    Subsequently Chris Baker, a lawyer acting on behalf of Makana Municipality has rectified the procedural errors and a month long suspension has been imposed so that Council will have enough time to decide on whether there is sufficient evidence for any kind of disciplinary action against the municipal manager. 

    While the media was completely barred from the meeting, sources within Council say that Pravine Naidoo's suspension is linked to a secret deal signed by the Speaker of the Council, Rachel Madinda-Isaacs to pay Naidoo R3m plus legal expenses totalling slightly over R108 000.
