Limpopo mayor investigated for boozy lockdown banquet via TheCitizen_News
The mayor of the Greater Letaba Municipality in Limpopo is being investigated by the police for allegedly contravening the lockdown regulations, after he allegedly hosted a braai and booze up last week.
“The mayor’s conduct is an insult to us all. We therefore call for his immediate resignation for breaching the nation-wide lockdown regulation, as imposed by President Cyril Ramaphosa. The mayor’s action clearly undermines the interventions by government to curb the spread of Covid-19,” said EFF Mopani regional chairperson, Pontsho Mashumu over the weekend.
“During the visit, we are told there was a larger following, which surpassed the number of people who should gather as stipulated in the lockdown regulations. Attempts to solicit comment from Matlou yielded nothing as the mayor failed to pitch up for a scheduled meeting in Tzaneen on Friday. Matlou’s phone has rung unanswered since then.
