The Ministry of Defence and Military Veterans has confirmed the suspension of its Director General (DG) Irene Mpolweni.
In a statement, the Ministry said Mpolweni has been placed on precautionary suspension and that it was not in a position to disclose the nature of the allegations or charges at this stage, “as we have a duty to respect employer-employee confidentiality”.
“We will pronounce once the entire disciplinary process had run its course. However, we wish to place on record that this suspension does not necessarily presume guilt on her part. It is intended to give the employer an opportunity to gather evidence and establish facts.”
An Acting Director General will be appointed in due course, the Ministry said.
