He was appointed as the chief executive officer of the Limpopo Tourism Agency in 2012,[2] but in October 2013 he was suspended with full pay pending an investigation into his alleged non-compliance with the Public Finance Management Act.
[6] During his four-year term as provincial secretary, Seabi was accused on several occasions of using his administrative powers to interfere in internal elective processes.
In December 2014, allegations of this kind led a group of ANC members, wearing panties on their heads, to chase Seabi out of a provincial conference of the ANC Women's League;[7][8] on that occasion he was accused of manipulating the electoral process in favour of Joy Matshoge, who was standing against Maite Marutha for election as Women's League provincial chairperson.
[11][12] These allegations led the provincial leadership of the Congress of South African Trade Unions to call for Seabi's suspension and an investigation.
[1] After the election, the ANC announced that it would appoint Seabi as its whip in the new Portfolio Committee on Sports, Arts and Culture, chaired by Beauty Dlulane.
