A probe was carried out by the public protector after receiving a complaint from a resident of the Buffalo City municipality, that amounts of R2m and R1m were misappropriated by officials in the provincial government and in the Mbizana local municipality.
“About R450,000 of that allegedly paid for Mabuyane’s home renovations,” the publication reported.
The money was paid into a Nedbank account of Allan Morran Design Architectural Services, a private company that carried out renovations at Mabuyane’s private house. In his second affidavit, Bam alleged that R2.2m was paid into his business account by Masilo Phala, a director of Key Spirit Trading 218. He said he had not performed any work to receive the amount but was told to redistribute it to provincial government officials.
Mkhwebane said Mahlaka’s conduct, as the municipal manager of Mbizana local municipality, was not only to the detriment of the municipality but also at variance with the standards required by the constitution and the Municipal Finance Management Act.
