Testimony at the Madlanga Commission tends to implicate not just Tshwane’s CFO Gareth Mnisi, but two political parties in @CityTshwane’s governing coalition — ActionSA and the EFF — in attempts to rig a security tender. This constitutes fresh allegations of misconduct against Mnisi unrelated to the claims made by the ANC before. In fact, this security contract seems to be what the factional wrangling in the coalition over Mnisi’s position is about. I hope that Mnisi is be summoned to testify at the Commission. In the meantime, Tshwane city manager Johann Mettler must take whatever steps are within his power to investigate the matter.

🚨Cable thieves caught red handed 🚨 What looks like simple disorder is often part of a much bigger criminal operation. Residents say illegal cable burning and stripping continues despite reports to SAPS and Metro Police 🚔. Lawlessness cannot be tolerated. I am committed to restoring law and order by deploying crime-fighting technology including drones, CCTV cameras, and a metro police control room.✅ Register for a DA government.
