SASOLBURG – The Fezile Dabi District Municipality has fired Local Economic Development officer and renowned businessman Thami Gorati.
Gorati was served with his dismissal letter on Wednesday, August 15 after a hearing that was presided over by two officials from Moqhaka Local Municipality; B van Wyk a Labour Relations Officer and Gert van Straaten who prosecuted.
Gorati told Public Eye: “Yes I am without a job and I trust that now people have to know the truth why I am fired.”
Gorati who is preparing to fight his dismissal in the labour court added that he was fired for refusing to have an affair with one of his senior colleagues.
The Municipality however accused him of threatening a female colleague and sending an offensive email to one of his bosses, Victoria Moloi advising her to go on a leadership course.
