The mayor of Ekurhuleni confirms that three senior officials have been removed following disciplinary action by the metro council. Reporting across outlets says the council’s decision follows processes tied to alleged misconduct, including claims of financial mismanagement and salary irregularities. Both sources also link the disciplinary outcome to revelations referenced from the Madlanga Commission. The Citizen reports that the councillors acted during a closed meeting on Thursday, where decisions were taken against senior managers after the commission’s findings were brought into consideration. IOL similarly states that the officials are dismissed after the council concluded disciplinary processes involving the cited concerns. The reports do not provide detailed information on the specific roles of the affected officials, the exact amounts involved in the alleged irregularities, or the formal charges, beyond describing misconduct findings and the commission’s related disclosures. The accounts present the dismissals as the end result of completed internal proceedings following allegations, rather than as pending investigations or appeals at the time of publication.
