When is the ANC going to fire its VBS mayors?
27 August 2020
It has been two years since the Madibeng Local Municipality in the North West (Brits) lost R30 million of the R50 million the municipality had unlawfully deposited in VBS Mutual Bank.
In May 2019 Mayor JostinaMothibe was supposedly "suspended" by the ANC, but yesterday it was clear that she was still in her job.
Without skipping a beat Mayor Mothibe appeared before Parliament’s CoGTA portfolio committee to account for the dismal state of Madibeng’s finances and services.
The municipality has now been placed under provincial administration five times, currently has an unfunded budget, and is fast running out of cash to pay its bills.
