Suspension of a member of Brand SA’s Board of Trustees following allegations of breach of lockdown regulations
The Minister in the Presidency, Mr Jackson Mthembu notes and welcomes the suspension of Ms Tebogo Mamorobela from the Board of Trustees of Brand South Africa pending the outcomes of an inquiry into possible misconduct and bringing the organisation into disrepute in terms of the Brand SA Trust Deed.
The Minister received a report from the Board of Trustees indicating the suspension of Ms Mamorobela in terms of Clause 25 of the Trust Deed, following charges laid against her in Limpopo for violating the national lockdown regulations in terms of the National Disaster Management Act by allegedly hosting a lockdown party.
The Minister views these allegations in a very serious light. “It is incumbent of all of us to respect the lockdown regulations which are intended to save the lives of South Africans. It is for this reason that we fully agree with the decision of the Board to institute a full independent inquiry into this matter,” Minister Mthembu said.
