This was after Morapedi suspended the president of their union, Gilbert Watshipi, and an employee of the bank, Caroline Molefhi. Watshipi and Molefhi were charged with misuse of the bank's property and dishonesty in January this year and suspended for two months. They are back at work after being reinstated in mid-March. Mmegi is reliably informed that the two have not been updated on the status of the charges against them since their reinstatement.
Employees are now questioning what they describe as "selective justice" because the NDB board did not suspend Morapedi after DCEC notified her that it was investigating her for corruption on February 4 this year. "The suspension of the union president and another colleague was not fair," said a source. "The two were suspended after lesser counts were levelled against them, but the board did not suspend the CEO who is being investigated by DCEC. "Weighing the charges faced by the two junior employees against those faced by the CEO, it seems the boss is facing serious charges. This is selective justice at its best."
