Madibeng-The DA is concerned about the increasingly extravagant lifestyle of the Executive Mayor and fellow inner circle comrades.
DA said the Madibeng municipality does not have money for essential maintenance of the infrastructure, but official does not hesitate to lavishly entertain themselves at the ratepayer’s expense.
“The Executive Mayor and eleven of her cadres have arranged for themselves a luxurious break-away from 25 to 30 August at the Umfula Game Lodge at cost of R75 000. This is on top of the R19 000 that they recently spent on a relaxing outing to the Hartbeespoort Dam Cableway” Tiaan Kotze said.
The opposition party said Umfula Lodge outing will be another fruitless and wasteful demonstration of the Mayor and her committee’s disrespect for the ratepayer’s money.
“Their lack of financial discipline is costing the municipality dearly and is a clear display of their inability to manage competently and responsibly”.
“It has become imperative that the Mayor be stopped or preferably be removed from office. I reiterate that a DA led Madibeng, will be a Clean accountable Madibeng” Kotze concludes.-TDN
