Sheriff attaches five Correctional Services vehicles worth over R1.3m to pay unfairly treated ex-employee
The action came after the department ignored a General Public Service Sector Bargaining Council’s 23 April 2021 ruling to pay Dumbela R930 438 after it overlooked her for provincial commissioner post and hired Mr Phiko Mbambo without advertising the position.Dumbela acted in the position for a year while the department was looking for a permanent candidate.
Without re-advertising the vacancy, the department then filled the vacuum left by Mashibini with Mbambo who was initially scored by the interviewing panel in second place that elected Mashibini as its preferred candidate. The council found that Mbambo, who eventually got the job ahead of Dumbela, did not have an honours degree either but held a NQF Level 6 National Diploma in Human Resources Management from Technikon SA, another NQF Level 6 Diploma in Project Management from Potchefstroom Business School and an Advanced Diploma in Management from Southern Business School, ranked at NQF Level 7.
