3 July 2019
A government official who allegedly stole files relating to the investigation of the controversial R1.3bn Alexandra Renewal Project (ARP), has returned the documents.
City of Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, said the Gauteng Department of Human Settlements employee returned three documents and meeting attendance registers.
He did not name the official.
"Our forensic investigators said the Gauteng provincial government official arrived on June 18, 2019 at the City's regional office in Sandton and advised the City's investigators of where files and meeting attendance registers he had taken could be located. The three files and meeting attendance registers were moved to another office by the official after he gained unlawful access to the locked ARP office and removed files containing evidence related to the ARP investigation.
