North West- In the last few weeks, Premier Thandi Modise has been exposed for spending millions on multiple luxury vehicles.

The DA in Madibeng has now learnt that the Bojanala Platinum District Municipality Speaker, which includes Madibeng, has purchased two cars within nine months.

“We will submit this to the public protector as well” DA Tiaan Kotze said.

DA said Speaker Gugulethu Mtshali bought a Mercedes Benz ML 350 for R800 000 in February last year. Nine months later, with only 35 000 kilometres on the car, she traded in the car for a Jeep Cherokee at an additional cost of R201 000.

The Mercedes was still under guarantee and covered by a maintenance plan.

“This is a complete waste of money. It is a classic example of how the Zuma ANC spend money to benefit a small connected network of people, yet don’t deliver to the people” Kotze said.

In Madibeng, people had to die before they got access to running water, yet the Speaker of the District Municipality spent R1 million on two different luxury cars within 9 months, says DA.

“It is a disgusting waste of money and a slap in the face of the people of Madibeng and the rest of the District” concludes DA.-TDN
