PRETORIA: South African National Parks (SANParks) Board would like to inform the public that the disciplinary enquiry against its Chief Executive Officer, Mr Fundisile Mketeni has now been finalised.
In July 2021 the Board of SANParks initiated a disciplinary process against the then CEO. The process was chaired by an independent professional, and resulted in a ruling and recommended sanction being delivered to the Board in May 2022.
The Board met, on Wednesday, 01 June 2022 to deliberate on the outcomes of the disciplinary process (ruling and finding on the sanction) and, in line with the recommendation of the independent Senior Counsel who chaired the process… “it has determined that the relationship between the CEO and SANParks will be terminated with immediate effect, as of June 1 2022.”
Notwithstanding the outcomes of the criminal proceedings against the CEO, the Board decision was based on the CEO being found guilty of 6 of the 7 charges levelled against the CEO based on his having breached the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct Policy and the Disciplinary Policy and Procedure of SANParks.
