Msimanga shines spotlight on contracts

The mayor of a municipal area including South Africa’s capital, Pretoria, said he may investigate more than R10 billion of contracts as the opposition Democratic Alliance leads an administration that took over the city following the ruling African National Congress’s loss of control in August 3 local elections. Tshwane Mayor Solly Msimanga said his administration on Wednesday uncovered a contract worth R100 million where the money had been paid and no work carried out. Msimanga will file charges next week, he said in an interview in Johannesburg, declining to give further details. “We want to investigate a sizeable chunk,” he said. “I might go over 10 billion rand because these things are now coming out of the woodwork.”

The Democratic Alliance together with the Economic Freedom Fighters voted to oust the ANC in Tshwane, Johannesburg and Nelson Mandela Bay as the ANC’s worst-ever election performance cost it control of three of of South Africa’s eight major metropolitan areas.
