SAMWU in Limpopo will March until shoes are worn out! Over grave concerns of corruption
Numerous acts of corruption and maladministration continues in local municipalities in Limpopo province on a daily basis, to make matters worse this corruption and maladministration continues to be justified as Good Governance.
SAMWU, the largest Local Government Union has since March 2010 been engaging with the administration of Limpopo over issues of corruption and maladministration, headed by Premier Mathale, ANC provincial structures and regional structures without any success.
SAMWU is sincerely concerned about the recent Vhembe Regional Executive Committee political decision, to redeploy one of the most corrupt Musina Municipal Managers, of which the Premier instructed and stopped the move and its implementation.
The Municipal Manager in question still continues to award tenders to friends, without tender advertisements. All of the above with evidence has been brought to the attention of the Premier by SAMWU, but nothing has been done to root out the grave forms of corruption evident in the Limpopo Province.
The Union is convinced that the head of Provincial Administration is protecting some individuals who are corrupt to the core, even after being made aware of their corrupt activity.
