Mayor Hill-Lewis said the SAPS informed him that the corruption
and fraud investigation is at an early stage, but is potentially serious.
“In the interim, I have appointed Alderman James Vos as
Acting Mayco Member for Human Settlements. I have further assured the SAPS of
the City's full support in the ongoing investigation,” said Mayor Hill-Lewis.
The City is currently awaiting further information from
authorities on the reasons behind the search and seizure operation by the
SAPS.
