Convicted drug dealer Sheryl Cwele, wife of State Security Minister Siyabonga Cwele, will know next Tuesday if she will keep her municipal post, Hibiscus Coast municipality said on Friday.
The outcome of a disciplinary hearing against Cwele, the municipality's suspended head of health services, will be made public on Tuesday, municipal manager Sbu Mkhize said.
"The chairperson of the committee has made a ruling on the appropriate sanction and the report will be tabled during the executive committee meeting on Tuesday. We will brief the media on the same day,” Mkhize said.
He was speaking on the sidelines of the KwaZulu-Natal premier's coordinating forum in Gateway, Durban.
The highly publicised hearing began in June this year and the committee ruled against Cwele last month.
It was convened to determine if Cwele should keep her post after she was convicted of drug dealing by the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Pietermaritzburg on May 6.
She was sentenced to 12 years in jail.
Mkhize did not want to divulge the sanction imposed by the committee.
“I cannot tell you that. We have to follow the protocol. The report has to go to the executive committee first before it is made public,” he said.
Asked whether the executive committee can overrule the disciplinary hearing decision, Mkhize said the executive committee would have to come up with valid reasons why it opposed its findings.
She is appealing her drug dealing conviction and is out on R100 000 bail.
READER'S COMMENTS
What? She has been found guilty how the hell can they think of not dismissing her.
I AM SPEECHLESS - a convicted drug dealer and they are still debating her fate! What a brilliant message to South Africans. Crime obviously pays via drug dealing and also by way of being considered to stay in her job! WHAT AN EFFING STUFF UP OF A GOVERNMENT/JUSTICE SYSTEM SA HAS.
SHE IS A CONVICTED DRUG DEALER !!!!!!! SHE MUST BE FIRED!!!! Lord help these lost souls who have lost their moral compass .... Siyabonga Cwele: You should have stepped down OR divorced your wife .... State Security Minister & International drug trafficker live together? – Hows that for a conflict of interest!!!
The husband claims to be separated from the drug dealer? He is security minister but is oblivious to her drug dealing? Sure, my grandfather is the pope!
Maybe she misunderstood her job description - she confused drugs and medicine? Yeh, yeh. I said that SA has 5-7 yrs- make that 5 at most.
I am completely Speechless, Can only put my thoughts through comments page, pay reinstated, maybe keep her job? Crickey seems that doing crime in this country really does pay. If you are black that is. What a traversty of justice. Pushing drugs, why does her fate still need to be debated? DIGUSTING our justice system stinks more with each passing day.
Firing is too good for her remember one of her mules is serving
time in a foreign jail. She should also be locked up. She is directly responsible for many young deaths in her country, I also feel very strong-ly , its not possible her husband could not have known of her activities.

Why is she NOT in Jail!?! An appeal of the conviction is made from jail.
