The Ports Regulator of South Africa and the Department of Transport are unable to explain the status of the regulator’s chief executive officer eight months after its board terminated her employment contract.
The dismissal in August 2023 followed a forensic investigation that found Mukondeleli Johanna Mulaudzi was unable to perform her duties, had contravened the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), and bullied staff.
This led to the board, the management team and staff all declaring a breakdown in their relationship of trust with the chief executive. For her part, Mulaudzi also told investigators and the CCMA she did not trust the board, executive management and the staff of the regulator.
