The Public Protector will re-investigate the bungled probe into Madibeng Mayor Douglas Maimane’s charity golf day.
The public protector is to conduct another investigation after its North West office bungled a probe into the failure of Madibeng local municipality executive mayor, Douglas Maimane, to account for proceeds of a charity golf day event.Proceeds of the event were allegedly unaccounted for.A concerned resident lodged a complaint on 3 January, 2022, asking for the matter to be investigated as no council resolution was obtained to hold the event.
Maimane’s chief of staff, Senzo Ncongolo, said the mayor was not involved in organising the event as the function fell under an administration led by then acting chief financial officer Thapelo Molatlhegi. As a result, the North West investigation team issued a notice to the anonymous complainant, informing him that his “complaint against the municipality was unfounded”.
Now, the resident has asked the public protector to investigate the conduct of her officials in North West.
