V&A Waterfront employee ordered to repay R2.9 million — Daily Maverick
In South Africa, Sibongiseni Thothedjane was ordered to repay V&A Waterfront about R2.9 million that she received from the organization. This was reported by Daily Maverick. According to the publication, she simultaneously worked full-time at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology and V&A Waterfront.
Two positions
At V&A Waterfront, Thothedjane held the position of information technology director. The author of the article notes that she was also employed full-time at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.
According to the publication, due to the employee's absence from work, the former acting dean of her department at the university demanded that she personally confirm her presence every day. At the same time, the author claims that she was absent from work at V&A Waterfront.

Data from a work laptop
The Daily Maverick author writes that not only the two positions, but also false information became a problem for the employee. He claims that she repeatedly misled employers about the circumstances of her dismissal from previous jobs and reported being ill while working at the university.
According to the publication, V&A Waterfront checked the work laptop issued to her and found that Thothedjane reported being ill while working at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. The article also mentions that she ran a DJ business.
The author links this case to the spread of additional employment. In his view, employers may agree to an employee's other work if they know about it and it does not create a direct conflict of interest.
