FRANCISTOWN: Almost a month after the arrest and interrogation of the Francistown deputy mayor and some council employees on corruption related charges, they are not yet suspended from duty pending investigations.

City deputy mayor Lechedzani Modenga and an undisclosed number of the Francistown City Council (FCC) employees were recently caught by the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) investigators for reportedly dealing on illegal sales of Self Help Housing Agency (SHHA) plots.

FCC clerk Leboile Israel recently listed amongst others, the illegal sale of SHHA plots as a corruption red-zone in his council.  The information and communications technology, transport, social and community development (S&CD) and the allocation of the SHHA plots are some of the departments prone to corruption.
