28 Nov 2017 in Where We Govern

The ANC has filed another Motion of No Confidence against the City of Johannesburg Mayor, Herman Mashaba. Sign the petition to show your support for Mayor Mashaba.

On Tuesday, 28 November 2017,  Executive Mayor, Herman Mashaba instructed the City’s Group Forensic and Investigation Services (GFIS) team to investigate Pikitup’s acquisition of 6 unused waste crushers which were bought in 2014, at a cost of R36-million.

One of the bidders that participated in the tender process, was able to supply the specified crushers for approximately R10-million less than the ultimate award of approximately R36-million.

This matter was brought to the Mayor’s attention by a whistle-blower who provided details on how money, meant for service delivery in the City, was misused.

I want to eliminate corrupt elements throughout the City including investigating illicit deals and contracts that were secured by the previous the administration.

Executive Mayor – Herman Mashaba

Corruption doesn’t just steal from the City. It robs residents of much needed services and resources. This is why corruption has no place in DA-led governments, and these administrations will work tirelessly to eradicate it.
