The National Education, Health and Allied Workers Union (Nehawu) in the North West has accused the provincial Department of Economic Development, Environment, Conservation and Tourism of unfairly targeting and removing officials in senior positions since the dawn of the 7th administration.
The unions reaction comes as MEC Bitsa Lenkopane removed two senior managers, the acting Head of the Department (HOD) and a Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
The acting HOD Lebo Diale was replaced by Relebohile Mafokane who is no stranger to controversy.
He was removed from the same position at the provincial Social Development Department for allegedly being involved in a scandalous security tender worth R134 million.
It was also alleged that he was appointed irregularly without qualifications.
