16 January 2018
Cape Town – A public relations firm headed by former Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Tony Leon and communications director Nick Clelland is set to receive over half a million rand from the City of Cape Town.
Resolve Communications, sub-contracted by the City to provide "strategic advice" to improve the City’s drought crisis communication, was appointed by the City’s advertising agency in November.
In written answers to News24, the City of Cape Town said Resolve Communications was awarded the subcontract at a cost of R164 500 per month in a bid to help reduce water consumption.
The agency’s contract is set to end in February, amounting to a total payment of R658 000.
