DA in Free State lays charges against Mohokare municipal manager
This relates to a bulk water pipeline project that was allegedly never completed.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Free State has brought criminal charges against the acting Mohokare municipal manager, Sam Mohale, at the Zastron police station. The accusations stem from alleged financial mismanagement and governance issues. Mohale took up his position in 2023, and the municipality has faced declining audit outcomes for three consecutive years.
These outcomes include unresolved irregularities. Furthermore, Mohale received a 'Notice of Intention to Issue a Certificate of Debt' from the Auditor General in March, which pertains to a project involving a bulk water pipeline that remains unfinished. The DA's Parliamentary Leader, George Michalakis, emphasized that Mohokare residents deserve better than the current poor service delivery.
He stressed that for municipalities to effectively provide services, they require officials who are honest, competent, and suitable for their roles. Michalakis emphasized that no individual is above the law.
