Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Solly Msimanga alleges that Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi is withholding forensic reports detailing corruption and mismanagement within the Department of Social Development. Msimanga demands transparency, urging the ethics committee to investigate Lesufi's actions and calling for the public release of all completed forensic investigations.
Solly Msimanga has also urged the ethics committee to look into Lesufi's behaviour. File Picture: Itumeleng English/ Independent NewspapersPremier of Gauteng Panyaza Lesufi is under investigation due to claims that he withheld forensic reports that allegedly showed corruption and poor management at the Department of Social Development.
“Our pleas have fallen on deaf ears, and instead, we have been given empty promises year after year regarding the release of these reports,” he said. “Recently, it came to light that a forensic audit launched into the Gauteng Department of Social Development had revealed that the director of the Sustainable Livelihoods programme, July Maphosa, had resigned in 2018 after he was accused of fraud and soliciting bribes.
“The contents of this forensic audit have still not been made public. This department plays a critical role in uplifting the lives of Gauteng residents. However, this cannot be done if only a connected few are given tenders to deliver services,” he alleged.
