MUNICIPAL DYSFUNCTION: Joburg stalls release of R4.07bn misconduct files until after elections

The City of Johannesburg has pushed the release of records detailing R4.07bn in alleged financial misconduct beyond the 4 November elections, after an admitted nine-day administrative delay and an extension calculated in ‘court days’. A separate R45.16bn UIFW disclosure raises further questions about accountability, with the identities and disciplinary outcomes of 68 officials still out of public view.
