The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education has ordered an investigation into job-selling and sex-for-jobs allegations against its spokesperson, Muzi Mahlambi, despite Mahlambi and his wife saying the video containing the claims was recorded four years ago and was not factual.
Head of Department Nkosinathi Ngcobo directed that a full investigation be commissioned through an independent body after the video, which shows Mahlambi arguing with his wife, Metu, circulated widely on social media.
In the footage, Metu alleges that her husband was involved in selling teaching posts and had sexual relationships with educators seeking employment. She also alleges that he avoided publicly addressing claims about the sale of posts because he was implicated in the practice.
Mahlambi is the department’s Head of Communications, while his wife serves as its Umlazi District Director.
