Zille vows to probe ANC tenders

New Cape Town mayor Helen Zille says all tenders and contracts allocated in recent times by the former ANC-controlled City Council will be forensically investigated to ensure the correct procedure was followed. At the same time, open and transparent government, in which members of a multiparty mayoral committee will have to account continuously for their decisions, will be instituted. Zille says projects, which have begun during previous mayor Nomaindia Mfeketo’s term and which have been in the interests of the residents will all be judged on merit. She says officials appointed by the ANC will not be dismissed, and everyone will be assessed on performance. However, Zille has indicated that city manager Wallace Mgoqi will not stay on much longer.
