Sipho Pityana, former Director-General of Foreign Affairs, has called on Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, the Foreign Affairs Minister, to apologise for letting the country down, says an SABC News report.
Pityana was reacting to the Pretoria High Court ruling which agreed with a Foreign Affairs Department\'s disciplinary hearing that Norman Mashabane, the former Ambassador to Indonesia, was guilty of sexual harassment in 2004. Pityana says the findings of a disciplinary committee of the department clearly showed that there was a case to answer. Pityana says the Minister\'s action of upholding Mashabane\'s appeal went against the advice of her department. Full SABC News reports
