Johannesburg - A Gauteng municipal manager suspended after allegedly incurring R1.5 billion in unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure, was this week forced to hand over his electronic gadgets to the law firm appointed to investigate the matter.
Rand West City Local Municipality municipal manager Themba Goba is under fire for allegedly mismanaging its finances in the period since his appointment in July 2017 and an initial probe recommended disciplinary action against him.
The municipality this week approached the Labour Court in Braamfontein, Johannesburg to force Goba to hand over the laptop, cellphone and iPad it subsidised to Mncedisi Ndlovu and Sedumedi (MNS) Attorneys, who have been appointed to represent investigate Rand West City.
