The Auditor-General made scathing findings against Ntshavheni's management of the Ba-Phalaborwa Local Municipality finances
The Auditor-General made scathing findings against Ntshavheni's management of the Ba-Phalaborwa Local Municipality finances during her tenure.The Democratic Alliance has requested the removal of Khumbudzo Ntshavheni from her position as minister in the Presidency.
The contract was to prepare the 2008/09 annual financial statements for Ba-Phalaborwa. Ntshavheni was the municipal manager of the local municipality in July 2009.In 2020, Judge Gerrit Muller of the High Court in Polokwane called the events surrounding the tender “repugnant and devastating”. He referred the matter to the Hawks and the National Prosecuting Authority for further investigation.
“Last year, the former Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Thembi Simelane, was linked to the VBS Scandal. Instead of stepping down or being relieved of her duties by the President, she was redeployed to the Department of Human Settlements to oversee a R33-billion budget. We have not forgotten.
The red berets said the investigation is a reflection of the “slow pace” of investigative institutions in handling matters of corruption that involve high-ranking government officials. “Since she successfully delivered Ramaphosa, she has been awarded with senior roles as a minister, all of which she has left with a dark cloud of corruption and misuse of taxpayer’s money,” the party said.
