Floyd Brink placed on special leave weeks after he revoked the anti-corruption head's investigative powersJohannesburg mayor Dr Mpho Phalatse with the speaker of the council, Vasco da Gama, and acting city manager Floyd Brink, who has been placed on special leave.Acting City of Joburg manager Floyd Brink has been placed on special leave amid an ongoing investigation into allegations of misconduct related to R320m procurement deals.
Brink allegedly authorised the transactions while knowing his subordinates were not in a position to approve them — and, according to the report, allegedly later tried to reverse the transactions when he discovered there was an investigation into the matter. TimesLIVE has seen the report, dated February 22 2022, which recommended that Brink’s conduct be reported to the council and that he be investigated.
“To date, Mr Brink has not taken any corrective or remedial action. This appears to constitute a dereliction of duty and a possible allowing or permitting of irregular expenditure.”
