Well-knownandoutspokenlegalrepresenterfromSwakopmund,MrAugustMaletzkycameoutgunsblazingduringa telephonicinterviewwithNamibTimes,regardingtheSwakopmundmunicipalityCorporateServicesManager'santicorruptioncase.
The Corporate Services Manager, Mr AndrePlaatjie,along withtwootherdefendants stands accused of corruptly using office or position for gratification, conspiracytocommitanact of corruption and obstructing the course of justice, dating back from 2019 Plaatjie and his coaccused were arrested and granted bail ofN$3000each.The Namib Times contacted Mr Maletzky
after inf
rmation surfaced that he is representing some Swakopmund municipality employees in internal labour issues. AccordingtoMaletzky no disciplinary actions were taken against Plaatjie until date and nointernalhearingwas conducted.“Thisclearly indicates that the Swakopmund Municipality is promoting discriminatory practices, as other municipality employees facing less severe mis-
conductsarebeingsuspended,” Maletzky fumed.Heisthelegalrepresentative for some Swakopmund municipality employees who are facing disciplinary litigations, with some of them being suspended, or facing suspension from duty “What applies to one must also apply to the other,” is Maletzky's opinion. An email in this regard was sent to the Swakopmund municipality on 22 October
According to their response (which was received this week), the municipality is busy scrutinising the responses carefully to ensure that correct informationiscommunicated, due to the delicate nature of the matter
