Good day everyone

?

I am unsure about how to use the comma in the following?instance:

...?the employee, Mr Maegala’s dismissal was ruled substantively unfair

...?the employee, Mr Maegala’s, dismissal was ruled substantively unfair

Should it?be the first or the second?

?

I also wonder about cases where abbreviations are included in brackets, for example:

The Department of Water and Sanitation's (DWS) decision to ...

Or should it be rephrased to:

The decision by the?Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) to ...

?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks in advance!
