The City of Ekurhuleni has placed metro police chief Jabulani Isaac Mapiyeye on precautionary suspension following allegations of serious misconduct.
Mapiyeye was served with the letter of his suspension on Wednesday following recent claims of sexual misconduct, City spokesperson Zweli Dlamini said on Thursday.
Dlamini said that at a Special Council Meeting held early this month, the council had authorised the City manager to follow procedures in line with the Local Government Disciplinary Regulations for senior managers “on the disciplinary procedures against senior managers, as well as the systems of delegations and relevant [city] policies in dealing with the matter”.
