Gauteng principal dismissed for allegedly misusing school funds.
A former Gauteng school principal's appeal against his dismissal for misusing public funds has been rejected by the Education Labour Relations Council.
Senior ELRC arbitrator Coen Havenga ruled that the dismissal of P Bango by the Gauteng Department of Education was both substantively and procedurally fair, dismissing his application for retrospective reinstatement with full benefits.
Bango had been employed by the department since April 2013 and served as principal of Northview High School before being demoted to deputy principal following a separate arbitration that set aside his appointment as principal.
His subsequent dismissal stemmed from allegations of financial misconduct committed while he was acting principal.
