Manyapetsa concerned about city fraud

Briefing the Councillors this week, the deputy mayor, Lotty Manyapetsa said: “of recent, I have received reports of fraud within Ward Development Committees especially in engagement of Ipelegeng beneficiaries. Reported cases are of ghost employees who are being paid without providing a service”.

He said this is a serious concern which needs to be addressed and urged all Ccuncillors to attend and exercise accountability in WDCs. The challenge that the council finds itself in, according to the deputy mayor is that those committee cannot be voted out by the community as election would attract more than 50 people.
