Tolashe wins Labour Court case against Simmons
The Star
|October 17, 2025
MINISTER of Social Development Sisisi Tolashe has secured a significant legal victory after the Labour Court dismissed an urgent application by her former Chief of Staff, Zanele 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.
