On Tuesday, the Johannesburg council voted to dismiss charges against city manager Floyd Brink after allegations that he flouted procurement processes in acquiring equipment worth R320 million.
Allegations that Johannesburg city manager Floyd Brink flouted procurement processes have been dismissed by the city council.
Group Forensics and Investigation Services commissioned the law firm ENSafrica to investigate irregularities related to approving a R320-million public safety transaction. In June, the council voted to defang GFIS, claiming it was used by the former leadership to spy on councillors and to even settle political scores with its investigations into councillors. Several cases involving council members and city leaders were dropped because of it.
The report on Tuesday was one of the in-council meetings held behind closed doors because of their alleged"sensitive nature".
