Mokhari was also appointed to probe allegations of maladministration and corruption against Stanley Khanyile, who served as the municipal manager from June 2017 until he was shot dead in a mall parking lot in October. “Please know this before, I don’t have a magic wand to fix all our problems and challenges.

The mayor urged the municipality to add value to people’s lives and for service delivery to be realised in real time.
