Vital National Health lab fires suspended CEO and CFO

The National Health Laboratory Service has fired its CEO and CFO after a disciplinary hearing found they were guilty of misconduct relating to tenders worth an estimated R200m.

The NHLS suspended then CEO Joyce Mogale, and CFO Sikhumbuzo Zulu in February 2017, following allegations of corruption and maladministration leveled by the National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union . Their disciplinary process was dogged by delays, but was finally concluded on April 30. Buch, who was not immediately available for comment, said in his statement that the chair of the disciplinary hearing, Nazeer Cassim, concluded that both employees were guilty of misconduct. He quoted Cassim’s judgment as saying: “In the circumstances of this case, it suffices for summary dismissal. They breached the trust vested in them by their employer.“They acted contrary to their duty of good faith, contravened the law and the employer’s supply-chain management policy.
