Bara CEO moved 10 months before end of contract
‘What is being hidden by the MEC's refusal to give a rational reason for his removal?’-Bloom
This information was disclosed by Gauteng Health MEC Qedani Mahlangu in a written response to the Democratic Alliance (DA) Gauteng Shadow for Health Jack Bloom’s questions in the Gauteng legislature.
According to Mahlangu, Mfenyana did not apply for a new position but was seconded to the head office on March 1 this year to strengthen district clinical services.
Mahlangu admits that she assessed his performance as CEO and was satisfactory and that his contract was extended on April 30 last year when it was supposed to expire.
“I am puzzled by this as he was removed from the hospital on January 1 this year, with no explanation given to staff although his contract runs to October 30.
“I think that the real reason for his involuntary removal is being covered up.
“It is unacceptable that the CEO of our largest hospital is removed without explanation,” said Bloom.
He said, “What is being hidden by the MEC’s refusal to give a rational reason for his removal?
“A permanent CEO needs to be appointed at the hospital as soon as possible to ensure effective management.”
