Former Johannesburg govt mayor Mpho Phalatse has laid corruption fees in opposition to the ANC and the Johannesburg Property Firm (JPC).
The case was registered at Hillbrow police station on Wednesday.
In a press release, Phalatse stated: “Through the course of repairing and rebuilding Joburg, by closing the faucets of corruption, we grew to become conscious of funds being channelled to a suspected ANC entrance.
“Whereas we acted accordingly on the matter inside the council as an establishment, we don’t imagine that the investigation will proceed or attain the SAPS beneath the illegally elected ANC authorities.”
I’ve simply arrived on the Hillbrow Police Station to put prison fees in opposition to the Johannesburg Property Firm (JPC), that seems to have engaged in an act of fraud or corruption involving hundreds of thousands of taxpayers’ cash siphoned off to an organization linked to the ANC. pic.twitter.com/sSUec0lx0Z

This led Phalatse, Part 79, Financial Growth chairperson councillor Bongani Nkomo and councillor Leah Knott to put the costs.
In response to Phalatse, the JPC allegedly paid R27 million to an organization she claimed was linked to the ANC and that had solely been registered for 2 months on the time of receiving the fee in September this yr.
The DA caucus chief alleged the funds can be used to destabilise “the coalition authorities of which I used to be the manager mayor, by funding the fee of bribes to councillors with a purpose to entice them to vote in opposition to our authorities”.
Remark from the ANC and JPC will probably be added as soon as obtained.
