MEC for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) in Gauteng, Mzi Khumalo, revealed this information in response to questions raised by the DA. It appears that the municipal manager was unaware of the situation, further highlighting issues with oversight and skills auditing within the municipality.

The DA calls for accountability and a thorough investigation into this case to ensure the effective use of municipal funds and service delivery improves. It remains to be seen how the Emfuleni Local Municipality will address this alleged misconduct.
