On 18 August 2017 the AfriForum branch in Utrecht laid eleven charges of corruption with the Hawks in Pietermaritzburg against Gugu Ntshangase, former Municipal Manager of the Emadlangeni Local Municipality, for further investigation.<\/p>\n
This follows a full internal investigation into alleged corruption at the Municipality. A report written after the conclusion of the internal investigation determines that the Municipal Council should take criminal steps against Ntshangase. However, this has not happened within six months \u2013 hence AfriForum\u2019s decision to act and lay criminal charges with the Hawks.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfriForum\u2019s Utrecht branch wants to cooperate with municipal officers to ensure an efficient municipal management,\u201d says Andr\u00e9 Homann, Chairperson of AfriForum\u2019s Utrecht branch.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe regularly see municipal funds being used for personal enrichment, while the community suffers as a result,\u201d says Eugene van Aswegen, AfriForum\u2019s Provincial Coordinator for KwaZulu-Natal. \u201cWe therefore encourage municipal officers to come forward if they are aware of corrupt activities to ensure that culprits are brought to book. It is everyone\u2019s responsibility to help eradicate corruption.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
