The city council resolved on Thursday night to begin disciplinary proceedings against him, after which a decision will be made regarding his future within the metro.

Tshwane mayoral spokesperson Samkelo Mgobozi said an investigation into the CFO’s alleged involvement in tender manipulation will also be initiated.

“An independent investigator will be appointed to investigate the allegations of potential misconduct. This is to ensure that the process is objective, credible, and capable of withstanding scrutiny. This step reflects the seriousness with which the city is addressing allegations relating to financial governance, accountability, and oversight.”
