co-operative governance and traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma told the National Council of Provinces on Wednesday. At the time the provincial capital, Mahikeng, was engulfed by protests with residents demanding then premier Supra Mahumapelo be sacked amid allegations of extensive corruption and maladministration in health, education, public works and roads, and community safety and transport management.“The findings of the auditor-general confirm that the provincial government is on a positive trajectory and the [task team] believes sufficient progress has been made to warrant a phased withdrawal,” she said.
Irregular, poorly managed and potentially corrupt contracts in the provincial government had been terminated and referred to law enforcement agencies, Dlamini-Zuma said. Nine provincial officials, including two heads of departments, had been dismissed after disciplinary processes.
