The report alleges a historic relationship between Shezi and Victor Lungisani Mthiyane, whom he met at school and who was a junior social worker at the organisation until Shezi was appointed CEO “through a rigged process” after unseating “Indians” who previously occupied senior positions in what Shezi said was a “transformation agenda”.He also created a chief financial officer position , hiring a man, the report says, who had previously been brought in to do a forensic audit he never completed.
“Another staff member confirmed the existence of the company and that its assets were those of DCMH. The team strongly believes that their intentions were to unlawfully gain control of the assets for their private benefits.“It is clear to me that the so-called transformation agenda was a ticket to ride the gravy train and make easy money,” he added, noting that at the time the NGO was financially distressed, board members were paid R15,000 each, apparently for their “dedication”.
DCMH is now drowning in debt. User care, treatment and rehabilitation have been compromised due to misappropriation of funds, gross mismanagement and poor and/or complete lack of proper clinical policies and protocols.
Just another reason to flee SA to find a caring society for our intellectually disabled daughter.The total lack of morality,consistent theft of social welfare funds & total neglect,disrespect & disregard for the disabled by those in power is a disgraceful reflection of SA society
A lawyer who was disbarred for misappropriation of funds was put in charge. And everyone thought this was a good idea.
