The agriculture ministry announced on Wednesday that director-general Mike Mlengana had been suspended with immediate effect‚ less than a year after he was appointed. A statement from the ministry did not disclose specific reasons for the suspension. Möller said Mlengana told him on Tuesday that he was due to have a meeting with Agriculture‚ Forestry and Fisheries Minister Senzeni Zokwana to "discuss some issues that they have".
