Proposal to Write off Irregular Expenditure Amounting to R336 Million
The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) has unequivocally rejected a report by the Tshwane Metro requesting approval for writing off R336 million in irregular expenditure. The expenses were incurred during the fourth quarter of the 2024/25 financial year. The report does not provide comprehensive information on the nature and extent of the irregular expenditure, nor […]

Emfuleni Spends Millions on Security While Infrastructure Continues Being Plundered
Even though the Emfuleni Local Municipality (Evaton, Sebokeng, Vaal Oewer, Vanderbijlpark, Vereeniging) spends millions on security, its infrastructure is still being plundered. The Municipality spent a whopping R12,5 million on security services in April alone, but still the municipal offices were plundered and critical infrastructure, such as substations, were stripped. This amount exceeds the budgeted […]

Emfuleni’s Quarterly Report Demonstrates Decline
The report for the fourth quarter of the 2024/25 financial year once again demonstrates the decline of the Emfuleni Local Municipality (Evaton, Sebokeng, Vaal Oewer, Vanderbijlpark, Vereeniging). In the report, the Municipality is obviously grasping at straws in the form of a so-called turnaround strategy, which is not feasible in practice. Instead of focusing on […]

Outreach Programme Just for Show
It is clearly evident from the fourth-quarter report (April to June) that the outreach programme of the Ekurhuleni Metro’s Mayor, Nkosindiphile Xhakaza, is just for show and an expensive exercise funded by taxpayers’ money. Although the programme is marketed as an effort to bring government closer to the people, it is actually no more than […]

Tshwane Housing Company Shows Trend of Mismanagement
The Auditor-General’s (AG) qualified audit opinion of the Tshwane Housing Company reveals a trend of mismanagement, financial shortcomings and repeated violations of the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA). One reason for the qualified audit opinion is the former financial head’s refusal to cooperate with the AG. Such conduct amounts to a direct violation of the […]

Kleinfontein Used as Political Pawn
The Tshwane Metro’s threats to sue the cultural village of Kleinfontein to comply with the Spatial Planning and Land-Use Management Act (SPLUMA) amount to administrative negligence and a deliberate attempt at political marginalisation. The Metro has repeatedly failed to engage with Kleinfontein’s management to discuss the matter, despite several invitations. The Freedom Front Plus (VF […]

Ekurhuleni Residents Receive Massive Electricity Bills
This month, the residents of the Ekurhuleni Metro were in for a shock when they received their utility bills because for months the Metro failed to indicate their actual power consumption on their statements of account. The Metro relied, instead, on estimated electricity readings. It is unfair to expect residents to pay massive, unexpected and […]
