Mabuyane informed Mbude, in a letter dated April 5, which TimesLIVE has seen, that she has been suspended on full pay “as a precautionary measure pending investigations at the department of education”.
At least 26 of the 115 schools that did receive learning material complained about not being supplied with the correct quantity. “The personnel must be free to co-operate with the investigator without actual or perceived fear of reprisal. As the premier, it is my prerogative to place any head of department on suspension.”
DA shadow MEC for education in the province Yusuf Cassim said in response to questions they raised during a portfolio committee meeting on Monday, Mbude revealed concerning issues in the department.
