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.
The Madlanga Commission on April 24 grilled suspended Tshwane Metro Police Deputy Chief Umashi Dlamini over WhatsApp messages he exchanged with Sergeant Fannie Nkosi, allegedly to sway suspended CFO Gareth Mnisi on a list of seven EFF-linked companies for the land invasion tender. This follows earlier testimony from Mnisi, who denied improper ties with Nkosi. Commissioners accused Dlamini of unlawful interference in the tender process.

Suspended City of Tshwane chief financial officer Gareth Mnisi testified at the Madlanga Commission that his friendship with Sergeant Fannie Nkosi remained strictly personal and did not affect a R2.9-billion police tender process. Mnisi, placed on precautionary suspension on April 15, 2026, denied receiving any benefits or rigging the tender. He described Nkosi as 'like a brother' during a difficult personal period.
Cable theft and infrastructure vandalism are severely disrupting electricity reliability in the City of Tshwane. The municipality reports around 2,000 unplanned power outages each month, with Regions 1, 3, and 4 most affected. These incidents cost an estimated R8 million to R10 million monthly, diverting funds from essential upgrades.
