The Gauteng High Court orders the Sedibeng District Municipality to reinstate Motsumi Mathe as municipal manager after ruling that his suspension was unlawful and unconstitutional. The court’s decision follows Mathe’s challenge to the suspension, which it finds did not meet constitutional requirements. As a result, the municipality is directed to restore him to the position of municipal manager. The reports indicate the ruling is based on the court’s assessment of the validity of the suspension rather than on any determination of wrongdoing by Mathe in connection with his role. The court action therefore centers on the legality of the steps taken by the municipality. The municipality is required to comply with the reinstatement order. Further details about the timeline of the suspension and the specific constitutional grounds cited in the judgment are not provided in the available extracts.
