Ward councillor Nicky Vitbooi allegedly overlooked people not aligned to her faction during the distribution of food parcels.
Meanwhile, it's alleged councillor Kuhle Ciliza solicited a R50 000 bribe from an artist who applied for municipal funding. The councillors, Nicky Roseline Vitbooi of Ward 10 and Kuhle Ciliza of Ward 1, were suspended by Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Xolile Nqatha for violating the Municipal Systems Act, the Cogta department announced in a statement on Wednesday.
Nqatha said:"I decided to take up these cases after the failure of the council to act, despite the gravity of the cases and negative impact to government renewal and good governance. The need to take action against wrongdoing is in the deepest interest of building public confidence to government institutions."

MaliDayimani Food parcels- this is how the ANC keep their vote. Action SA / DA take note!
MaliDayimani They stole from the less privileged and they get suspended. What about criminal charges, going through trial, conviction, sentencing and last but not least serving time. They should be fired and barred from holding any position in public office for life. Thieves
MaliDayimani Committing fraud... 3 months without pay.... Did the 💛💚🖤ANC🖤💚💛 suspend them for the fraud or getting caught? Either way it is disgusting and a clear slap in the face for the citizens. voetsekanc
MaliDayimani I must admire MEC Xolile Nqatha for this decision. I hope eThekwiniM is learning from this because many ward councillors in this metro are using services of ANC BEC instead of the elected ward committee.
MaliDayimani Petty thieves and primitives. Getting away with a slap on the wrist, encouragement to come back and steal some more from global crisis relief provisions.
