DA to take legal action against the ANC/EFF/PA Coalition of Corruption’s wasteful Joburg spending
10 April 2024
The Democratic Alliance (DA) will urgently launch legal action, in the form of an urgent review, against the abuse of public funds by the ANC/EFF/PA/Al Jama-ah coalition of corruption in the City of Johannesburg. This unholy alliance between the ANC and EFF, which is aided and abetted in Joburg by the sell-outs in the Patriotic Alliance, is shamelessly diverting millions of rands towards providing luxury vehicles and VIP bodyguards to their cronies and cadres, while the city teeters on the brink of financial and service delivery collapse.
The Johannesburg City Council has approved a proposal to spend over R3 million per month on VIP protection for the executive of the council and other office bearers of the council such as the Speaker, chief whip, chair of chairs, and chair of the municipal public accounts committee. The DA voted against this decision.
Added to this, the total estimated cost of the vehicles, to purchase anew is staggering - approximately R28 million!
The Patriotic Alliance's MMCs for Housing and Transport will get four VIP protectors and two luxury cars each. While the PA shares in the spoils of ANC/EFF corruption by getting bodyguards, the people of Joburg live in fear of criminals. While they get luxury vehicles, the people can barely afford fuel anymore.
