Hawks nab licensing department officials
“Our investigators are working tirelessly to reveal relationships between the corrupters and those willing to be corrupted because ours is to ensure that we run a clean government.”
Ekurhuleni mayor Clr Mzwandile Masina has given a stern warning that more arrests are imminent to root out fraud and corruption in the municipality.
Masina was reacting to the news that the Hawks arrested six licensing officers in the metro’s Benoni office.
“We have said that our administration has no room for fraud and corruption and this development shows that we meant what we said,” the mayor said.
“We will continue working consistently to root out corruption.
“My message to all employees is that if you are engaging in corrupt activities, stop it now or risk going to jail.
“We appreciate the work done by the Hawks and all role players who made this operation a success.”
Masina stated that his administration will leave no stone unturned, saying the days of fraud and corruption are over.
“Our investigators are working tirelessly to reveal relationships between the corrupters and those willing to be corrupted because ours is to ensure that we run a clean government,” said Masina.
He gave an undertaking that the arrests will not impact on service delivery at the Benoni Licensing Department as measures have been put in place to close the gap left by those arrested.
