QUESTION 1
READ THE SCENARIO BELOW CAREFULLY AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS
THAT FOLLOW
Mr Lindani Radebe is employed by the National Department of Housing and
Infrastructure (NDHI) as a Senior Technical Advisor. Over the past three years, he has
been nominated multiple times for internal promotion but has yet to be selected. On
each occasion, less-experienced candidates were appointed. No reasons have ever
been communicated to Mr Radebe regarding the selection decisions, despite his formal
written requests.
Mr Radebe recently filed a grievance, questioning the transparency and consistency of
the promotion proess. Two weeks later, he was issued a written warning for
“interpersonal issues” allegedly affecting team performance. He denies these
allegations and claims there was no proper inquiry or opportunity to respond.
In addition, Mr Radebe’s access to a performance-linked housing subsidy, historically
granted to all staff with his job title and pay grade, was suddenly revoked, while his
colleagues continue to benefit from it. No justification was given. Mr Radebe has
referred the matter to the CCMA.
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS FROM THE HCTE MEMBERS BELOW:
With reference to applicable legislation and case law, examine the conduct of the NDHI
in the scenario provided and assess whether Mr Radebe has valid grounds to challenge
any of the actions taken against him.
