The Mail & Guardian has reliably learned that the controversial government spokesperson received a letter from Performance, Monitoring and Evaluation Minister Collins Chabane last week, which stated that his contract will not be renewed when it comes to an end in August, writes Charles Molele.

Manyi joined the government in August 2009 as director general of the labour department under then-minister Membathisi Mdladlana.
