The Special CEC was convened by the COSATU National Office Bearers to table its report on the outcome of the grievance hearing against the General Secretary and the public statements attributed to the COSATU General Secretary. The National Office Bearers tabled their report. The meeting discussed and considered the impact on the status, integrity and the reputation of COSATU and on the office of the General Secretary, including the alleged involvement in a relationship with an employee of the office. The Special CEC resolved that it was necessary to place the General Secretary on special leave of absence, with immediate effect pending investigation into the allegation and possible disciplinary hearing. In the view of the Special CEC it was necessary to place the General Secretary on this leave of absence in the light of the nature and seriousness of his conduct in this matter, its consequential effects on the federation and the seniority of his position. The CEC felt that this was in order to ensure a thorough and proper investigation. The CEC tasked the National Office Bearers together with the Presidents of affiliates to manage the process, to ensure that it occurs freely and fair. The NOBs together with Presidents tried to meet with the General Secretary last night to communicate the decision, however the General Secretary indicated that he had left the office and it was not possible to meet them. It was agreed that the meeting would take place on the 15th August 2013 at 09h00. The NOBs and Presidents met with the General Secretary and communicated the Special CEC decision and handed him the letter that places him on a special leave. The period of special leave is subject to the General Secretary compliance with conditions among others.
