'The fact that Makhubo is holding press conferences rather than serving a 15-year sentence for corruption is an indictment of our criminal justice system,' Mashaba said.
Herman Mashaba addresses the media at a press conference at the Johannesburg city council, 21 October 2019. Mashaba announced his resignation, effective on November 27. Picture: Tracy Lee Stark.
Mashaba was responding to earlier reports by Makhubo on Wednesday that the City was on the brink of financial collapse. Makhubo said newly paraded JMPD officers had to be retrained because they had allegedly graduated before completing their training. “Contrary to these allegations, the pre-audit financial statements for the 2018/19 financial year reflected a significant improvement in the City’s financial health and liquidity, with its closing cash balance increasing from R2.2bn at the end of 2017/18, to R5.3bn by the close of 2018/19,” said Mashaba.
