Christopher Pappas

♦️Corruption Alert♦️ Christopher Pappas, the Mayor of uMngeni Local Municipality, who earns approximately R76,583.33 per month, is reportedly receiving an undeclared additional R44,609 gross per month to supplement his “relatively low salary.” This is a clear violation of the Local Government Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000, which prohibits full-time Mayors and councillors from taking other paid work without consent.

That was fun

Thank you for your service, John. You took the DA forward at a difficult moment, stepping in after the previous leader abandoned the role. Under your leadership, the party was stabilised and strengthened, becoming part of national government. You have accomplished your mission.

Tragic killing of DJ Warras. Rest well brother.

During the 2024 elections false claims were made that I misused municipal funds and channelled money to a partner After a full year-long investigation the Public Protector has cleared me of all wrongdoing. All allegations were unsubstantiated, with no evidence of abuse of power.

A moment of reflection… Sandile Mnikathi, our Deputy Mayor, is a young leader who delivers: academically accomplished, committed, and grounded in service. Grateful to work alongside such a capable and inspiring colleague.

I can understand Minister from the DA, IFP, PA, VF, etc saying they are new. 100%. But then the ANC Ministers in failing departments saying they are new???? Your comrades, endorsed by your party, having been in charge for 30 years! You can’t use the “we’ve just taken over” line.
