Kubayi posted on a WhatsApp group on March 14 that she was stuck in an elevator and informed the responsible person had already left work.

Several days later she was phoned by the minister, informed of her dismissal and told to expect a dismissal letter. The letter, dated April 20, read: “I have considered the serious nature of your gross dishonesty, the gross misconduct or gross negligence which could have result in a loss of lives, your failure and lack of convincing explanation in your letters of response and/or your avoidance to furnish reasons why you should not be summarily dismissed.

The labour court judgment reads: “The applicant has argued that the minister acted as the victim or complainant, witness, initiator and referee. Having presided over a matter where she was the complainant and witness, and an initiator leading the department’s case, the minister decided that the applicant was guilty of the allegations of misconduct and imposed a sanction of dismissal. This is not acceptable.“The minister’s conduct was unlawful.
