Premier wants manager back

FIRED Modimolle municipal manager Charles Powell could soon return to his post if Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale has his way.

FIRED Modimolle municipal manager Charles Powell could soon return to his post if Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale has his way.

This despite the fact that Powell still has allegations of corruption hanging over his head, for which he was dismissed last year.

It is understood that Mathale wants to poke his nose into the affairs of the municipality. He has allegedly instructed that Powell, who is believed to be a friend of his, return to work.

But the municipality has to contend with the fact that another person is still acting in the post.

Powell was dismissed in June after being accused of incompetence and financial mismanagement. - Frank Maponya
