Opposition parties in the North West say a proper land audit needs to be done.
The National Prosecuting Authority has filed for an urgent interdict in a bid to halt another sale of land that used to belong to the Mahikeng Local Municipality in the North West.
Prime development land was sold for next to nothing and is now at the center of a corruption investigation. This dubious deal is still under investigation 16 years later and the company that obtained this bargain is now in liquidation without settling their debt to the municipality. NPA spokesperson in the North West, Sive Gunya, however, denies that they are abusing the court process.
Fanon Moema, spokesperson for the EFF in the North West, “We are quite concerned that even now the case is ongoing and there is no logic conclusion as to when it will be concluded. And on the other hand, the person who bought the property illegally is now about to auction. So, as the EFF we are going to initiate a fully blown investigation into this and also look at the possible ways of stopping this process until the case has reached its own conclusion.
