ANC Councillors in Inkwanca municipality suspended for 5 years


Four Eastern Cape Councillors in the Inkwanca local municipality have been suspended from the ANC for five years, for ignoring a directive on the handling of  a forensic report into alleged corruption.

The ANC's national disciplinary committee dismissed the Councillors appeal, after the provincial disciplinary committee found them guilty.

National chairperson Derek Hanekom says the four were found guilty after they failed to implement the recommendations made in the Kabuso forensic report.

Local Government MEC, Mlibo Qoboshiyane reportedly instituted the investigation, after allegations of maladministration, fraud, corruption and nepotism that surfaced in the municipality.

In September last year, the municipality was placed under administration after it lost a court battle to have the forensic report set aside.
