Home Affairs

THE Department of Home Affairs has fired a chief director for fraudulently issuing permits to self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri, pictured, and his family.

Ronney Marhule, the Chief Director for Permitting, was found guilty on two counts of misconduct relating to dishonesty and negligence at the conclusion of a lengthy disciplinary hearing which lasted almost a year.

Marhule had tried in vain to stop the disciplinary process on at least three occasions at the Labour Court and at the Labour Appeal Court.

Marhule was charged, on two counts, with gross dishonesty, gross negligence, non-compliance with the Immigration Act, Regulations and Standard Operating Procedures. | IOL
