Tolashe wins Labour Court case against Simmons

Simmons had challenged her recent dismissal from the Department of Social Development, but the court's decision firmly backed the Minister's stance and actions.

The matter began on September 29 when Simmons was suspended with full pay following serious allegations of gross misconduct.

Among the charges were claims that she misused Minister Tolashe's electronic signature and altered a staff member's curriculum vitae without authorisation. The department labelled the suspension precautionary, citing compliance with Chapter 7 of the Senior Management Service Handbook.
