L'Alliance démocratique réclame la suspension préventive du directeur municipal d'Ekurhuleni

L'Alliance démocratique a exhorté à la suspension préventive du directeur municipal d'Ekurhuleni, Kagiso Lerutla, qui fait face à des accusations de fraude et de corruption et dont le retour de congé spécial est prévu lundi.

L'Alliance démocratique a appelé à la suspension préventive du directeur municipal d'Ekurhuleni, Kagiso Lerutla. Ce dernier est en congé spécial depuis avril et doit reprendre ses fonctions lundi.

Lerutla et le chef adjoint suspendu de l'EMPD, Julius Mkhwanazi, sont accusés de fraude, de corruption et d'entrave à la justice. Les charges portent sur un incident survenu en 2019 au cours duquel Lerutla aurait demandé à une personne de se faire passer pour lui lors d'une comparution devant le tribunal pour un excès de vitesse. L'État affirme que Lerutla a versé 200 000 rands à Mkhwanazi et à l'usurpateur chacun.

Le député de l'Alliance démocratique, Michael Bagraim, a déclaré que le processus implique de recueillir des preuves établissant une présomption de culpabilité et d'évaluer les risques liés au retour à son poste d'une personne ayant accès aux fonds publics.
