, in the North West, is setting a landmark trend, as it is the first municipality in the country to conduct interviews for the position of municipal manager in public.which revealed most municipalities in the province failed to receive clean audits.
Rustenburg has one of the biggest budgets of all the municipalities in the province. It also contributes at least 21% to the GDP of the province from a host of mining and industrial activities.The previous municipal manager, whose office was raided by the Hawks for alleged tender corruption, resigned in May, after merely two years in office.“I think we needed to be more transparent so that the public can understand the decisions we take.
The municipality currently faces a list of litigations following allegations of irregular tenders, notably, the fleet tender. Some business people say they are forced to pay bribes and hope the new accounting officer will be a person of high moral integrity. So says chairperson of Rustenburg Chamber of Commerce, Pieter Malan.
“It’s a good thing as long as we do not see any political interference, unfortunately the position is such high powered important position, as business we required someone with great integrity unfortunately with the last one is not something we got. Amongst the business people, there’s lot of corruption going on. Certainly there’s enough evidence there are some corrupt activities, some are irregular – for business that is an untenable situation, as business we do not want to go the corrupt way .
Absolutely nothing wrong here. A precedent well considered
