Former department head fights dismissal linked to whistle-blower case
Cape Argus
|July 02, 2025
A FORMER deputy director-general at the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DAC), who was fired after she tried to reveal the identity of a whistle-blower within the National Arts Council (NAC), turned to the Johannesburg Labour Court to get her job back.
Kelebogile Sethibelo was dismissed in her absence in July 2019 after she failed to attend the disciplinary inquiry against her. Her dismissal followed two allegations of misconduct against her related to alleged attempts to reveal the identity of a whistle-blower and insubordination.
Aggrieved with the dismissal, she referred a dispute to the bargaining council. Following unsuccessful attempts at conciliation, the matter came before an arbitrator, who ruled her dismissal to be fair.
Unhappy with this finding, Sethibelo has turned to the Labour Court.
