“The Public Protector concluded that former Minister Mboweni’s appointment of Ms. Munusamy into the position of the Community Outreach Officer was made in terms of the Public Service Act read with Regulations 66(2) of the PSR.
“Whereas it was noted that the revelations made at the State Capture Inquiry might have placed the integrity of Ms. Munusamy into question, there was no evidence to conclude that the appointment of Ms. Munusamy by former Minister Mboweni was in violation of the Executive Ethics Code.”
