The CEO was suspended by the Board on the 17 February 2011 after a few allegations were made against him and following investigations. The CEO was requested to make available the budget of the Council but that was never made available until the relationship between him and the Board was irreparable. Presently, the Chairperson of the Council oversees the running of corporate matters. There is also no Financial Officer. The Council operates with a budget of R3 million, and overemphasised the need to have a CEO and a CFO who will manage the Council and oversee its budget, respectively. The Board admitted that they were reluctant to appear before the Committee, which is for the first time, given the current state of the Council.
