The Sunday Times reports that Thandile Sunduza, the LA Consul General, and Shadrack Nepfumbada, a senior consular official, have fallen out over her demands.

The newspaper reports that Nepfumbada claims that Thandile, who arrived 10 months ago, has so far refused to move into any of the 30 houses that she has been taken to see.

The matter is now a subject of Parliamentary committee investigation, which has recommended that Nepfumbada be recalled.

In a letter to the committee, Thandile wrote that Nepfumbada wanted to destroy. Sabotage, frustrate and make her fail.
