AI summary
The High Court considered an opposed review about the appointment of an Assistant Director: Minimum Information Security Standards at Madibeng Local Municipality. It found that the recommendation and appointment of the third respondent were unlawful and invalid, and reviewed and set them aside. The order says the setting aside operates prospectively and that a fresh recruitment and selection process must comply with the Municipal Staff Regulations and the municipality’s policy if the post is filled again.
This may be relevant to municipal recruitment, legality reviews and employment equity considerations in public sector appointments.
