Johannesburg - Merafong Local Municipality mayor Maphefo Mogale-Letsie remains tight-lipped about her future in council following the Gauteng ANC’s call for her to step down following her alleged failure to act against officials who invested municipal funds in VBS Mutual Bank.
“The PEC deliberated extensively on the report and decided to accept the findings and recommendations of the PIC. Accordingly, Cde Maphefo Letsie-Mogale will step down as the executive mayor of Merafong Local Municipality and Cde Boyce Maneli will step down as a member of parliament,” Khawe said. According to the sources, Chauke and Wienekus were served with a final written warning which was valid for 12 months.
According to sources, Wienekus – who was manager treasury and budgeting – was allegedly instructed through an email to invest the R50m with VBS before 12noon on June 23, 2017.
