Newsletter| Rustenburg Mayor Mpho Khunou has moved to allay fears that the outgoing municipal manager, who resigned last week, had been stripped of her powers and pushed out because high-ranking ANC officials want to loot municipal funds before elections
This has been mentioned as the main reason she decided to step down from her duties in the North West’s mineral-rich town.In her resignation letter she said she left because of constant attacks on her office, faceless propaganda, interference in her work and tribalism.
“A report was instead tabled at council and discussed by the committee, led by executive mayor Khunou. They skipped all processes and bestowed signing power and the authority to represent the municipality and council to a junior unit manager, head of legal Lucky Molotsane. “She is serving her notice with all her powers. We have no fear that she will do something untoward. She is a responsible municipal manager,” Khunou said.“If you talk about fixing a pothole, the municipal manager cannot fix it herself. In the ordinary course of how the institution works, the municipal manager cannot sit in an interview. All of those things are done lower down in the institution.”
“Our view as the EFF is that she played a role in the municipality’s failure to comply with some council resolutions, such as payment to service providers which never rendered any services. She must answer to the controversial awarding of security tenders,” Matebesi said.
