ANC Tshwane asks Ramaphosa to get the SIU to probe the DA-run municipality
15 August 2018
The ANC in Tshwane wants the City to be placed under administration and President Cyril Ramaphosa to assign the Special Investigating Unit to probe allegations of looting there since the DA took over in 2016.
These were some of the remedies suggested on Wednesday at a media briefing which the party's newly-elected chairperson Dr Kgosi Maepa and the party's caucus in the council held.
The party leadership expressed "disgust" and sought to expose what it termed "historic capex grand theft by the DA administration".
This is linked to reports in the Sunday Times over the weekend which stated that Municipal Manager Moeketsi Mosola brought in Midrand-based engineering consultancy firm GladAfrica to manage infrastructure projects worth R12bn, despite being advised that doing so was illegal.
