Ramaphosa-administration determined to impose Bathabile Dlamini on the nation, despite public outcry
15 November 2019
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has taken note of the illogical and frankly ridiculous decision on the part of Human Settlements Minister, Lindiwe Sisulu, to appoint Bathabile Dlamini to the position of Chairperson of the Social Housing Regulatory Authority’s (SHRA) interim board.
It is completely illogical that anyone would see Dlamini fit to hold any sort of public office when her record is riddled with ineptitude, scandal, alleged corruption and callousness related to the interests of the poor and vulnerable.
The Ramaphosa-administration is not serious about the interests of South Africans. Why else would they continue to relentlessly impose Bathabile Dlamini on the people of South Africa despite the continued uproar over her holding public office? The New Dawn is indeed an era of awarding bad behavior and incompetence.
The Constitutional Court in the past indicated that Dlamini’s conduct during the social grants debacle in 2017 was reckless and grossly negligent. Furthermore, an inquiry into her conduct revealed that Dlamini had misled the Court to protect herself from the consequences of her behaviour.
