Africa-Press – South-Africa. The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Johannesburg wants an investigation into all agreements entered into by fraud-accused former mayor, Kabelo Gwamanda.
Gwamanda was axed as the MMC for community development.
The Al Jama-ah councillor currently has an ongoing court case where he is accused of defrauding people through a funeral policy scam.
The official opposition party in Johannesburg has welcomed the axing of Gwamanda from the mayoral committee.
DA caucus Leader Belinda Keyser Echeozonjoku said all decisions taken by Gwamanda during his time as mayor and MMC for Community Development should be investigated.
“The DA demanded that a full investigation be done into all agreements and memorandums of understandings (MOU) signed by Cllr Gwamanda during his time as mayor and also as MMC for Community Development.
“We also demanded a full forensic investigation into the signatures received by Cllr Gwamanda and executive Mayor Dada Morero regarding the renaming of Sandton Drive to Leila Khaled Drive. It is evident that they cannot be trusted.”
The DA also expressed concern about Gwamanda’s replacement, Patriotic Alliance Councillor Tebeho Nkounkou.
The DA said Nkounkou is a divisive character in the council
