JOHANNESBURG – Joburg Mayor Geoff Makhubo’s office blamed the city’s previous administration for failing to adequately train over 1,000 metro officers who have now been trained again and will soon start with their new roles.
The city said an internal audit revealed that the recruits lacked the practical skills to carry out their responsibilities.
Mayoral spokesperson Mlimandlela Ndamase claimed that former mayor Herman Mashaba allowed the trainees to work without being fully equipped for the job.
Ndamase said over R20 million had to be paid to the unfit officers.
