R6.3m claim for alleged constructive dismissal

Mpumalanga\'s Tourism and Parks Agency (MTPA) has been served with legal papers demanding R6.3m for allegedly forcing its deputy chief executive officer to resign and flee the province, says a report on the News24 site.

Segware Rapolai resigned in December amid claims that fellow officials and MTPA board directors were trying to kill him, or alternatively bewitch him, to prevent him from exposing their involvement in various corrupt schemes. Rapolai has since gone into hiding with his family in Gauteng. His lawyer, Mongezi Ntanga, said that Rapolai\'s ‘opponents’ were guilty of constructive dismissal because they had made it impossible for him to work. Rapolai claims to have documents that prove senior MTPA figures are involved in corruption. He said the R6.3m compensation claim was meant to reimburse him for his lost earnings over the remainder of his five-year employment agreement as deputy CEO. MTPA CEO, Solly Mosidi, declined to comment on the case, saying he had been consumed with fighting his own suspension and was therefore not briefed on Rapolai\'s claims. Full report on the News24 site
