How long before Mmemezi goes? - Jack Bloom

DA launches monitor to count days Gauteng MEC remains in office

DA LAUNCHES MMEMEZI MONITOR - HOW LONG BEFORE PREMIER FIRES HIM?

It's now 30 days since it was revealed on 21 May  that Gauteng Local Government MEC Humphrey Mmemezi bought a R10 000 painting at a McDonald's restaurant, as well as other abuses of his government credit card.

How long will it be before Premier Nomvula Mokonyane fires him?

The DA launches today a Mmemezi Monitor that will count the days that he still remains in office without being fired (see below).

It will be circulated on twitter, facebook and email and updated every day that Mokonyane fails to take action against him.

There is no need for further investigations as enough has been revealed that tarnishes his office and the Gauteng Provincial Government. His explanations for his credit card spending get more ridiculous every time.

He should go as soon as possible, but is protected because he supports President Jacob Zuma and has a power base within the ANC.

Public pressure is needed to push him out. People are encouraged to post a comment on the Mmemezi Monitor at www.da-gpl.co.za
