Suspended Umsunduzi municipal manager back at work
Umsunduzi's previously suspended municipal manager's returning to work today.
Council ordered a probe into allegations of financial misconduct against Lulamile Mapholoba.
After attempts to resolve the issue failed, he approached the Labour Court last month claiming that internal processes to suspend him were not properly followed.

The court ruled in Mapholoba's favour yesterday, declaring his suspension unlawful and illegal. He spoke to Newswatch moments after the judgment:
"I'm very happy. I feel vindicated, I'm looking forward to assuming work; do what I do best to run the municipality and I hope that I will receive the necessary cooperation from the mayor and councillor."
