FRONT PAGE PREVIEW: Corruption by the millions

More than R350 million has been "lost" through either irregular expenditure or gross misconduct.

LYDENBURG – “Gross misconduct, grossly irregular and in a fraudulent manner.”

These are the words used to describe what was uncovered when a forensic audit implementation plan was presented to Thaba Chweu Local Municipality (TCLM).

The newspaper obtained a copy of the implementation plan that was presented to council on March 29. The full report has still not been released by TCLM. The plan exposes fraud and misconduct and several officials and various businesses are implicated.

More than R350 million has been “lost” through either irregular expenditure or gross misconduct.

The investigation was done by Audit and Risk Management Solutions (ARMS) after a request by the Municipal Public Accounts Committee on July 14, 2017.
