Dan Bovu’s arrest exposes ANC Gauteng’s rot
17 January 2018
This morning’s arrest of ANC City of Johannesburg Councillor, Dan Bovu and a second accused is long overdue and is a victory for the people of City of Johannesburg.
Bovu was the City’s MMC for Housing under former ANC Mayor Parks Tau.
Under the ANC, the City of Johannesburg was a feeding trough for dishonest officials and corrupt politicians who used the people’s money and resources as their own. This happened while David Makhura and Paul Mashatile looked the other way. It is for this reason why Mayor Herman Mashaba declared corruption as ‘enemy number 1’, an enemy which stole from the people and undermined development and opportunities.
The complainant who laid charges against Bovu was allegedly told to pay R5000 for a stand in the Vlakfontein area. After he paid R5000 for the stand the second accused told him to come on a weekend to choose a stand which he likes.
