Subject: Formal Complaint and Request for Intervention Regarding My Suspension and Fair Labour Practices
To: The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources (DMPR) Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Petro Mashamaite, employed as a Reaction Unit Manager with Employee Number: SSG 0475M. I am writing to lodge a formal complaint and to request your attention regarding my suspension while working at a mine under your regulatory oversight. I have been suspended following allegations of bribery and conducting outside work through an accredited training centre. While I fully acknowledge that I perform training-related work after my normal working hours, I categorically deny any allegation that I have accepted, requested, or been involved in bribery. I am concerned that the disciplinary process may not be conducted fairly, objectively, or without prejudice. I respectfully request that my employer ensure that the investigation is based on credible evidence, that I am afforded procedural fairness, and that I am given a full opportunity to respond to all allegations before any decision is made. I respectfully request that the Department take note of my concerns and advise whether there are any steps it can take within its mandate to ensure that fair labour practices and proper governance are maintained at the mine. My intention is not to interfere with the employer's disciplinary process, but to ensure that it is conducted lawfully, transparently, and without bias. I remain willing to cooperate fully with any lawful investigation and trust that my rights as an employee will be respected throughout the process. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your guidance and response. Yours faithfully, Petro Mashamaite Reaction Unit Manager Employee Number: SSG 0475M Date: 06/07/2026 Subject: Formal Grievance Concerning Unfair Treatment, Inconsistent Discipline, Victimisation, and Procedural Unfairness Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Petro Mashamaite, Reaction Unit Manager, Employee Number SSG 0475M. I hereby lodge this formal grievance regarding what I believe has been a prolonged pattern of unfair treatment, inconsistent application of company rules, unequal discipline, and procedural unfairness during my employment. For a considerable period, I have felt that I have not been treated with the same fairness and respect afforded to other employees. I have frequently experienced difficulty obtaining leave, have been denied the opportunity to knock off at the appropriate time despite completing my duties, and have often been treated as though my concerns and wellbeing were of little importance. Throughout my employment, I have felt that I have been subjected to excessive scrutiny. My movements and activities have been closely monitored in a manner that, to my knowledge, has not been app**** equally to other employees in similar positions. This has created an intimidating and hostile working environment in which I have felt targeted rather than supported. I am also deeply concerned by what I believe is inconsistent enforcement of company policies. From my observations, certain employees have been permitted to use company vehicles, fuel cards, and other company property for personal purposes without facing disciplinary action, while I have been subjected to severe disciplinary measures. I respectfully request that these concerns be independently investigated so that the company can determine whether its rules are being app**** consistently to all employees, regardless of their position or relationships within the organisation. I further believe that workplace decisions are, at times, influenced by status, favouritism, or personal relationships rather than being based solely on company policy and objective facts. This perception has significantly affected my confidence in the fairness of disciplinary processes. My current suspension has caused serious damage to my professional reputation. I understand that an employer has the right to investigate allegations; however, I am concerned that I was suspended before being provided with sufficient information regarding the allegations against me. Other than the suspension notice, I was not provided with the evidence supporting the allegations or given an opportunity to meaningfully respond before my reputation and career were placed at risk. I am also concerned about consistency in disciplinary action. I am aware of situations where employees who were allegedly involved in serious misconduct were treated differently and, in some cases, continued working or were later reinstated. I respectfully request that the company review whether disciplinary standards have been app**** consistently and fairly in all comparable cases. Previously, I received a final written warning despite providing what I believed was truthful information and supporting evidence. This experience left me with the impression that my explanations were not given proper consideration, while others in similar circumstances appeared to receive more favourable outcomes. I have worked under difficult and demanding conditions, including responding to risks associated with ******* mining activities, and have always endeavoured to perform my duties professionally and in the best interests of the company. It is therefore deeply distressing to now find myself suspended and feeling that my years of dedication have not been fairly recognised. In light of these concerns, I respectfully request: - An independent review of my suspension and the disciplinary process. - An investigation into my allegations of inconsistent treatment and unequal enforcement of company policies. - A review of whether favouritism or selective discipline has influenced workplace decisions. - A review of previous disciplinary decisions involving comparable cases to ensure consistency. - Assurance that I will not suffer any form of victimisation or retaliation for raising these concerns. - That I be treated fairly, impartially, and in accordance with the principles of procedural and substantive fairness. This grievance is submitted in good faith and in the interests of ensuring fairness, accountability, and equal treatment for all employees. I trust that these concerns will be thoroughly investigated and addressed. Yours faithfully, Petro Mashamaite Reaction Unit Manager Employee Number: SSG 0475M Date: 06/07/2026
