City of Johannesburg Speaker Colleen Makhubele during the council meeting on 27 October 2022, in Johannesburg. Picture: Nigel SibandaThe Gauteng branch of the party on Tuesday sent a media statement announcing that a criminal case has been opened at the Midrand Police Station over the fake letter sent to the Electoral Commission on Monday.
The fraudulent letter, which had Cope president Mosiuoa Lekota’s name on it, claimed the City of Johannesburg’s speaker Cope spokesperson Dennis Bloem also said he was unaware of Makhubele being fired. Cope’s Gauteng Chairperson Thomas Mofokeng, in the media statement, said the fraudulent letter has been withdrawn.“The Cope president and the Cope Gauteng province hereby confirm that the letter is fraudulent,” said Mofokeng.
“The president of Cope has no knowledge of the letter and had neither sanctioned nor authorised its content to withdraw Colleen Makhubele as a councillor in the City of Joburg and the purported termination of her membership in Cope and representation in the IEC.”Mofokeng also added that the party “trusts the police will assist to investigate and finalise this matter speedily”.
When asked if Cope knows who sent the letter, Makhubele would only say that the party is “awaiting the investigation”.The Speaker of JHB finds it more interesting to be at a Tswane council meeting than doing her Job in JHB and no apology given strange 🤔
