MEC Maile signals intent to tackle corruption in municipalities 'soon'
15 July 2019
Gauteng MEC for Human Settlements, Urban Planning and COGTA, Lebogang Maile wants to deal with corruption in municipalities across the province.
"Soon I’ll be making a public announcement on serious allegations of corruption in our municipalities and what steps the provincial government will be taking. We will not spare anyone irrespective of their political affiliation. Corruption must be fought mercilessly," he tweeted on Sunday.
The MEC has recently exchanged words with Johannesburg mayor, Herman Mashaba on issues of corruption and the infamous Alexandra Urban Renewal Project.
Maile however maintains that this move has nothing to do with a particular municipality, despite butting heads with Mashaba.
