ActionSA has suspended City of Tshwane councillor and Corporate and Shared Services MMC Kholofelo Morodi as a party member pending a preliminary investigation into Madlanga Commission allegations. Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya earlier placed her on special leave after evidence allegedly showed her sharing internal land lease tender documents with police sergeant Fannie Nkosi. The moves aim to uphold transparency and accountability.
On March 19, 2026, ActionSA suspended Kholofelo Morodi, the City of Tshwane's MMC for Corporate and Shared Services, as a party member. The decision follows allegations raised at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, where evidence reportedly indicated that Morodi shared internal land lease tender documents with witness police sergeant Fannie Nkosi via WhatsApp messages. Earlier that day, Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya placed Morodi on special leave with immediate effect, pending a preliminary investigation to determine if a prima facie case exists. MMC Hannes Coetzee, also from ActionSA, will temporarily handle her responsibilities to ensure continuity. ActionSA National Chairperson Michael Beaumont stated: “I received confirmation that the Provincial Executive Committee of ActionSA has suspended the MMC as the member of the party as well pending the outcome of the investigation. Certainly, I think what we really can say is that ActionSA has responded to this unfortunate news in the most decisive manner.” Mayor Moya affirmed that no one implicated in corruption would receive protection, saying: “If there are any members of council who, or administration that have been found wanting, we will write to Judge Madlanga just to get the information on how we deal with it because we can’t say we will wait till the commission is concluded.” Mayoral spokesperson Samkelo Mgobozi noted the step protects the city's integrity and avoids perceptions of interference, with a letter to be sent to the commission secretary. The Democratic Alliance welcomed the suspension, while analyst Dr Levy Ndou described the allegations as concerning, reflecting deep issues in Tshwane's administration. Related evidence at the commission also involved Tshwane CFO Gareth Mnisi sharing tender details with Nkosi.
