ActionSA lays criminal charges against City of Johannesburg's Economic Development MMC
By Neo Poho
ActionSA's Nobuhle Mthembu has laid criminal charges against City of Johannesburg's Economic Development MMC, Nomoya Mnisi, because of an ANC Youth League (ANCYL) party, which allegedly cost almost R900 000.
The charges were laid on Tuesday the 1st of August 2023 as Mnisi allegedly ordered the former acting CFO of the Johannesburg Property Company (JPC), Sipho Mzobe, to pay for an ANCYL event.
The event was held at the Cedar Woods of Sandton, from the 7th of July to the 9th of July 2023 and it cost R867 482 00.
While Mzobe has resigned from his post, ActionSA also alleged that Mnisi stalled the appointment of a permanent CFO to ensure that her preferred candidate got the position.
In his resignation letter, he said he left because of political interference and also claimed that Mnisi pushed the JPC to find a permanent CFO, but not to appoint him.
Meanwhile, Mthembu said the party had laid the charges because they could not fold their arms and allow the executive to abuse their power.
"The allegations also support our view that it is imperative the coalition of doom and its puppet executive mayor, Kabelo Gwamanda, need to be removed to ensure that ratepayer rands are not abused for personal gain as the JPC has long been plagued by poor management and corruption, with the work done under the multi-party government, which includes ActionSA, being reversed.
It has been reported that JPC Board members have now started secretly recording their meetings and sending the information to the MMC," Mthembu said.
