Cyril to probe Moretele council

President Cyril Ramaphosa has instructed the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to probe allegations of corruption at the Moretele Local Municipality in North West, dating to 2016.

It allegedly contravened National Treasury regulations by diverting R50 million from a grant meant for water infrastructure in the 2017-18 budget to bank it with the liquidated VBS Mutual Bank.

Moretele mayor Andries Monaheng has since been recalled by the ANC. – ANA
