Six officials surrender bonuses

[blunomore]

SIX senior officials from the uMhlathuze municipality in Richards Bay have opted to waive their rights to an annual performance bonus and instead decided the money should be channelled to where it is needed most - the community.

The bonuses vary according to pay scales, but one of the officials said the money would be R50,000 in average. This would mean the officials are forfeiting about R300,000.

Acting municipal manager Nkosinathi Nhleko and senior managers Mbali Ndlovu (corporate services), Mxolisi Kunene (finance), Sifiso Mdakane (technical and infrastructure), Vukani Sibeko (community services) and Lindani Khoza (city development) unanimously agreed to surrender their bonuses so that the money could be channelled towards development projects in the community.

University of KwaZulu-Natal analyst Zakhele Ndlovu said the move needed to be celebrated. "It's a positive development, something that shows a certain level of maturity and caring."

I dont know - "If its too got to be true, it probably is" - comes to mind.

If it is all true then great - well done guys/gals.

[ponder]

That's only because they have already skimmed R300mil of other projects

 

[diesel]

Bah im sure the R300 000 is peanuts compared to all the money they have embezzled already.

Well done! R300k might be peanuts, but it's definitely a step in the right direction!
