The Department of Communications<\/a> has confirmed that its director general,\u00a0Rosey Sekese<\/a>, has been\u00a0placed\u00a0on\u00a0special leave.<\/p>\n

In November, the National Assembly\u2019s communications committee asked communications minister\u00a0Dina Pule<\/a> to look into her director general\u2019s performance agreement.<\/p>\n

The committee reached a consensus that Sekese\u00a0\u201cmisled\u201d it regarding the signing of her performance agreement for 2012\/13.<\/p>\n

The DoC issues out the following statement:<\/p>\n

“The director general of the Department of Communications, Ms Rosey Sekese, has been placed on special leave.<\/p>\n

“Deputy director general, Mr Gift Buthelezi, has been appointed as acting director general until 15 February 2013.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sekese told the committee\u00a0that she had a performance agreement for 2012\/2013, to which\u00a0committee members asked for evidence of the signed document.\u00a0Two documents were provided.<\/p>\n

After studying the two contracts, committee chairman Sikhumbuzo “Eric” Kholwane<\/a>\u00a0said they were found to be “two unidentical documents which did not have signatures of both parties”.<\/p>\n

“Therefore, they do not constitute a performance agreement.”<\/p>\n

According to legal counsel, there was no contract between the director general and minister Pule.<\/p>\n
