In a shocking turn of events, allegations of corruption and malfeasance have surfaced in Mafikeng Municipality, spotlighting the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Municipal Manager.

The Incident:

A post by Lady_L Mabuza-Thaanyane (@_LeratoMabuza) on X has brought to light that the CFO was allegedly suspended for refusing to approve and release illegal tender funds amounting to R5,000,000.00. The situation escalated when the CFO’s lawyer was purportedly “unfairly forcefully removed” from the premises for attempting to defend the CFO’s rights. The post further alleges that the Municipal Manager, responsible for overseeing the operations, only holds a Matric Certificate with four Fs and is thus unqualified for his position.
