"The disciplinary hearing that was held issued a suction of dismissal and the municipality, unfortunately, had to implement that undesirable dismissal. 


"We can confirm also that as a result of these dismissals, these employees also still have the right in terms of following all the due processes in relation to the outcome that the municipality has issued out to them."
