Danny Jordaan’s Illegal Payments: DA to ask Public Protector to investigate
03 July 2016
I have written to the Public Protector, Adv. Thuli Madonsela, asking her office to investigate Danny Jordaan for allegedly ordering the illegal payment of former Nelson Mandela Bay councillors.
The City Press has today broken a story in which it is alleged that Danny Jordaan instructed Payroll officials to continue paying former DA councillors, who had joined the ANC, despite them no longer being in the employ of the municipality.
This amounts to blatant misuse of public funds and political interference and could be in contravention of thePrevention and Combating of Corruption Act.
Thus the DA’s legal team will also consider laying criminal charges and will approach the South African Police Service to open a case if necessary.
