We take note of and support the decision of the Board of the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA), as communicated by the Chairperson, Mr Thabo Motloung, to place the CEO, Mr Tshepo Mahanuke, on special leave pending an independent investigation process.
Following thorough consultation, the move to place Mr Mahanuke on special leave was deemed the most appropriate to allow for a fair process, by an independent entity, to unfold to determine the facts. Mr Mahanuke’s decision to willingly subject himself to this process is also noted and commended.
We are pleased that the process initiated by the Board is expected to be completed by the 30th of November 2022. A speedy but thorough process will allow the Johannesburg Roads Agency, the City at large and the Multi-Party Government, to focus on fulfilling the urgent service delivery mandate that is before us, with little distraction.
ENDS.
