Editorial Note: This Question and Reply, including the accompanying annexure, was published in 2015. In January 2024, we received information that the annexure contained an error regarding Dr More Chakane. Dr Chakane was not dismissed by the CETA due to misconduct, but rather his employment was terminated by mutual agreement between the parties. Accordingly, the annexure has been redacted to remove reference to Dr Chakane.
