Former Ekurhuleni City Manager Dr. Imogen Mashazi
Retired Ekurhuleni Metro City manager Dr Imogen Mashazi has placed suspended police chief Jabulani Mapiyeye at the centre of alleged sexual harassment cases in the metro police department.
Dr Mashazi has accused Mapiyeye of abuse of power by allegedly sleeping with his subordinates and fathering children with them.
The retired Ekurhuleni City Manager says women in the metro police department complained to her that they could only get promoted in exchange for sexual favours.
Dr Mashazi is testifying before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry in Pretoria.
“The pattern of behaviour described is deeply troubling and reflects the systematic abuse of authority by the Chief of Police. He used to call them amengelosi, like angels. Those who are angels are the ones who are promoted.”
“And if you look at the promotion of [EMPD spokesperson Lt-Col Kelebogile] Thepa, who actually testified here, you can see that she was promoted in a short period of time as compared to others who have more qualifications who were there before her. Who were appointed before her,” she explains.
