DA: Sudden retirement of Tom Monyane needs to be explained

The Democratic Alliance said the Minister of Correctional Services Sbu Ndebele must explain the sudden departure of National Commissioner Tom Moyane. 

National Commissioner Moyane retired on Monday. 

DA MP of Correctional Services James Selfe has said it is a great pity to lose Moyane from the department as he has provided some stability after having four national commissioners since 2007.

Selfe said it is for this reason that they cannot fathom why his contract was suddenly terminated and Monyane was replaced by Jolingana.

“Mr Monyane in fact only turned 60 in January and still had two years left of his contract, if his age was of such great concern to the minister then he should have retired him in January, the timing is rather suspect,” added Selfe.

He also added that the minister must explain the reasoning behind this decision and the fact that Mr Moyane appeared not to have known of his retirement.
