I mostly enjoy acting as chairperson of disciplinary hearing and also in prosecuting in misconduct hearings. Most challenging aspects of my job is taking unlawful instructions from principals. I am go getter and always on time with my assignments. Another challenging aspect of my job is ensuring that managers understand processes so that the department is not compromised of face legal action from employees. I am also responsible for Employment Equity and my role is to ensure that the designated employees get a fair chance to be recruited and advanced through measure that are transparent and legitimate.
