A formal internal investigation into alleged race-based bullying by an HR manager caught on camera railing against the hiring of white males at Stellenbosch municipality will be confirmed at a special council meeting on Friday.
Mayor Jeremy Fassar has conducted a preliminary investigation into a leaked recording of the manager making racially charged remarks and said: I believe there is enough reason to institute an internal investigation into these allegations and I am convening a special council meeting later this week to start the process.
I will also review the recruitment and selection policy of the municipality to ensure there are no loopholes to allow race-based bullying and constructive dismissals.
