In terms of the General Manager Legal Services, Adv P Khumalo: The Council, in considering the MTT Report and following due process, acted as follows –
(a) In the matter related to disciplinary/ incapacity action as a result of the complaints in the MTT Report, it was evident that most of the complaints dealt with in the MTT Report relates to matters that had transpired prior to his appointment to the HPCSA, therefore Adv P Khumalo was exonerated. The decision was communicated to the incumbent and formal correspondence had been drafted to officially close the matter.
(b) On the question of whether it is in the interest of the HPCSA for Phelelani Khumalo to remain part of the organisation, in particular as part of its senior management, Council exonerated Adv FP Khumalo on the basis that the issues listed in the MTT report occurred prior to his joining HPCSA. This question therefore becomes irrelevant.
END.
