The Communication Workers Union (CWU) says they are shocked to hear about the suspended SA Post Office CEO Khutso Mampeule.

Mampeule was suspended last week at a meeting of the Post Office’s board.

In a statement CWU says they will not tolerate attention to be taken away from ongoing investigations which has been helping to root out corruption.

Last week Maanda Manyatshe MTN MD resigned after Mampeule laid charges against him for tender fraud. He is suing the Post Office for R100m. Meanwhile the Business Day reports that Mampeule is also looking for legal advice to sue the company.

According to Fin24 Mampeule says that he is a victim of a smear campaign by members of his board.

The union says that an investigation of contracts signed under the leadership of Manyatshe is correct and should continue.


The CWU has called on the greater intervention of the Ministry of Communications and the suspension of all managers and Board members who are being investigated to step down.
