Mgoqi ordered to leave

Axed Cape Town city manager, Wallace Mgoqi, has lost his application to declare his dismissal unlawful. Cape High Court Judge Deon van Zyl has ruled that he should vacate his office. In a unanimous decision, the full bench of three judges also declared the extension of Mgoqi's contract invalid. Former Cape Town mayor Nomaindia Mfeketo extended Mgoqi’s contract just before the local government election in March this year. No order has been given on costs. Mgoqi has 14 days to study the judgement.
