Investigations Into Corruption Allegations of City of Tshwane Officials and Political Representatives

As part of the multi-party coalition government in the City of Tshwane, the GOOD party has expressed concern about the allegations of corruption against city officials and some representatives of other political parties.

The post GOOD WELCOMES INVESTIGATIONS INTO CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS OF CITY OF TSHWANE OFFICIALS AND POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVES appeared first on For Good.

GOOD Statement by Sarah Mabotsa, GOOD City of Tshwane Councillor:

As part of the multi-party coalition government in the City of Tshwane, the GOOD party has expressed concern about the allegations of corruption against city officials and some representatives of other political parties.

The Commission, which was set up by President Cyril Ramaphosa, has, amongst others, been tasked with investigating whether criminal cartels have infiltrated the city.

Evidence before the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into Criminality, Political Interference and Corruption in the Justice System, commonly known as the Madlanga Commission, points to massive corruption that took place dating as far back as 2022, and possibly goes back further.

The recent evidence presented at the Madlanga Commission heard that politicians and officials within the City of Tshwane may have been involved in efforts to influence tenders, including a multi-million-rand security tender, in the capital city.

The security tender was awarded under the previous administration in March 2022.

GOOD was founded by Minister Patricia de Lille, one of the leading whistleblowers against corruption in South Africa, and GOOD wishes to state on record that it will not tolerate any form of corruption anywhere.

Allegations of political interference and of administrative interference in supply chain processes are illegal, and I welcome the immediate steps taken to investigate these allegations of corruption. Criminal action must follow if these claims of corruption are proven correct.

We are not judging those implicated, but I support swift action on these allegations and implementation of any criminal charges that may arise from the investigations. For the City of Tshwane to run effectively, it needs to clear the air on some of the allegations that have emerged from the Madlanga Commission.

GOOD Youth Focus: The party places a strong emphasis on youth empowerment and engagement.
