Hon Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move on behalf of the DA:
That the Council -
1) notes that more than 30 contracts, worth at least R200 million, were awarded without going to tender at the Matjhabeng Municipality in the Free State province;
2) also notes that 13 of the contracts, valued at R32 million, were awarded in one day;
3) further notes that a confidential report, the Selesho Commission Report, which was prepared by the development and governance consultant Sledge Selesho in 2010 on the Matjhabeng Municipality, discloses details of corruption, theft of public money and blatant financial mismanagement; and
4) calls on the MEC for co-operative governance and traditional affairs in the Free State to release the full report of the Selesho Commission as well as the Ramathe Fivaz report to expose the corrupt officials instead of sweeping the damning reports under the carpet.
