Former Ekurhuleni City Manager Mashazi accuses EMPD head of sexual harassment, rape

Former Ekurhuleni city manager, Imogen Mashazi, has accused suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) head, Isaac Mapiyeye, of subjecting his female subordinates to sexual harassment and even rape.

Mashazi was testifying before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry in Pretoria on Monday

She alleged that she was forced to retire from her city manager position by Ekurhuleni Mayor, Doctor Xhakaza.

Mashazi has also accused the commission of prejudicing her, claiming she was not given enough time to prepare her testimony.

But her main gripe is against Mapiyeye, who she claims was terrorising female officers.

“It was also reported to me that the chief of police, Isaac Mapiyeye, fathered multiple children with subordinates who were vulnerable to his abuse of power including conduct that amounted to sexual harassment, coercion and rape.”
