#UDM asks #Hawks head, re @HeraldPE article on @MongameliB, to please explain what is going on @ #NelsonMandelaBay. What is relationship btw Hawks and Herald? #PoliticalShenanigans
Dear Sir
ALLEGATIONS IN HERALD AGAINST NELSON MANDELA BAY MAYOR MONGAMELI BOBANI
1. I refer to the above matter and address this letter to you in consequence of the front-page article in today’s Herald with the heading “Why the Hawks swooped on Bobani”
2. I have read the above article detailing information about an alleged criminal matter being investigated against Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Mongameli Bobani and noted the allegations that the Hawks Provincial spokesperson, Captain Anelisa Feni said “the matter was still under investigation” and “Therefore, we are unable to release information.”
3. I fully agree with the stance of your provincial spokesperson. However, a detailed version of contents on an alleged “bombshell affidavit” of Captain Henk Fourie, the Hawks investigator, was published in the article allegedly detailing how “hundreds of thousands of rands were paid into the account of Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Mongameli Bobani by a company accused of siphoning money meant for the city’s beleaguered bus system.”
