The City of Ekurhuleni has confirmed that its Head of Department for Legal and Risk Services, Advocate Kemi Behari, has been placed on precautionary suspension with full pay.
The City says the decision follows the resolution of the Municipal Council taken on 18 November.
Behari has been implicated at the Madlanga Commission where it has been alleged that he actively blocked disciplinary action against suspended Deputy Chief of the Ekurhuleni Metro Police, Julius Mkhwanazi.
