Tampering Scandal Halts Top Msunduzi Appointment

An internal investigation has been launched by Msunduzi Municipality following claims of tampering with recruitment documents, missing recordings, and interference in the selection process for the deputy municipal manager for community services.

The allegations, which include the manipulation of scorecards to favour an unqualified candidate, were detailed in a confidential report presented during a special council meeting held at the City Hall last Friday.

The meeting, which had only four items on the agenda, was closed to the public.

Opposition councillors confirmed the investigation but declined to comment, citing the confidential nature of the discussions.

According to a source close to the matter, 10 candidates had been shortlisted, and seven were eliminated, leaving three finalists.
