“The AFU will ensure that funds are recouped to ensure that service delivery continues unhindered‚ especially services to the poorest and most vulnerable of our residents. We have laid charges against these employees‚ and we are on the trail of the external individuals that were a part of the syndicate to swindle money from the City to ensure that they face the full might of the law‚” Mashaba said in a statement.
Mashaba added that he was disappointed that there were officials in the city who were still involved in corruption.
“There will be zero tolerance for corruption and we will continue to vigorously pursue every allegation of corruption in collaboration with institutions such as the Hawks and other organisations within the criminal justice system‚” he said.
