The DA in Gauteng is seemingly calling for Lesufi to suspend Jacob Mamabolo, who allegedly asked VBS to fund a R3m SACP conference.

The Democratic Alliance in Gauteng says it is concerned about the eligibility of the MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs and Infrastructure Development, Jacob Mamabolo, to hold office following his alleged implication in the Venda Building Society Mutual Bank saga. , revealed that Mamabolo allegedly asked VBS to pay for a R3 million conference bill that the South African Communist Party owed at the Birchwood Hotel in Kempton Park in 2017.

Msimanga said the portfolios overseen by MEC Mamabolo are critical to service delivery, and we cannot have an MEC in that position who has a cloud hanging over his head regarding his dealings with VBS. He said his party, which moved to the opposition benches after talks collapsed with the ANC over executive positions, will be tabling questions in the Gauteng provincial legislature to determine what steps Premier Lesufi will take against Mamabolo in light of the new allegations that have surfaced.

“The DA will continue to demand that lifestyle audits be conducted on all the MECs and that these reports be made public. This will ensure that our residents receive the service delivery they deserve and that no public funds are lost to corruption,” he added.
