DA Mayoral Candidate Khathutshelo Rasilingwane wants a probe with the Public Protector to investigate the corruption allegations involving millions in public funds in Ekurhuleni.
The Democratic Alliance (DA)’s mayoral candidate in Ekurhuleni, Khathutshelo Rasilingwane, is at the Public Protector’s offices in Pretoria to formally submit a complaint over alleged corruption within the City of Ekurhuleni.
The DA says public funds meant to serve residents cannot be misused for personal or political gain. The party is also calling for an urgent investigation into allegations involving senior municipal officials and political parties.
Rasilingwane says the complaint raises serious allegations of corruption and abuse of public funds.
“Officials within the City of Ekurhuleni may have influenced city council votes in exchange for directing funding to the political parties of certain councillors. The DA believes there are clear grounds for an investigation by the Public Protector, including possible contribution of the prevention and combating of corrupt activities and the Political Party Funding Act.”
