Cape Town nurse cleared of sexual harassment after accusations of over hugging and blowing kisses.
The Labour Court has dismissed the City of Cape Town’s application to overturn a disciplinary finding that cleared a nursing clinic manager of sexual harassment allegations involving a female colleague.
Acting Judge A.C. Oosthuizen found that the disciplinary chairperson’s decision to acquit FA was one that a reasonable decision-maker could have reached.
Adams, who was employed by the City as the Nursing Clinic Manager at Rocklands Clinic, had faced disciplinary proceedings over allegations that she sexually harassed a fellow colleague, TJ, between August 2022 and January 2023.
An external disciplinary chairperson, Stephanie Sirmongpong, ultimately found AF not guilty of the allegations. The City subsequently approached the Labour Court seeking to have that finding reviewed and set aside.
