The Tshwane Mayor, Dr Nasiphi Moya, has appointed Flora Monama as the new MMC for Corporate and Shared Services, following the removal of former MMC Kholofelo Morodi amid tender corruption allegations.

Moya expressed confidence in Monama’s ability to strengthen the metro’s internal systems.

“I am pleased to announce the appointment of Flora Monama as the Member of the Mayoral Committee responsible for Corporate and Shared Services,” said Moya.

“Councillor Monama brings more than 30 years of senior public sector experience, including expertise in human resource management, labour relations, compliance oversight, and organisational administration.”

Monama currently serves as Chairperson of the Section 79 Committee on Utility Services, where she has overseen key municipal functions and accountability.

“In this position, she has demonstrated disciplined leadership, strong organisational capability, and a clear focus on ensuring that systems function effectively to support delivery,” she said.

Moya said the Corporate and Shared Services portfolio is central to the functioning of the municipality, providing administrative, human resource, and organisational support across all departments.

“This role requires strong leadership and efficient systems to ensure effective service delivery. Councillor Monama’s background positions her well to strengthen these systems and ensure that the city’s internal functions effectively support service delivery across all departments,” she added.

“I am confident that Monama will provide stable, capable, and focused leadership in this critical portfolio, strengthening the city’s internal capacity to support service delivery.”

The appointment follows a mayoral committee reshuffle on March 27, during which Morodi was removed from her position.

Moya explained that the decision was taken after carefully considering evidence presented at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, along with Morodi’s written representations following a week of special leave.

“Following a formal process in which Morodi provided written representations regarding the issues raised before the commission, I carefully considered her response along with all available information, including relevant communication records submitted to the commission,” Moya said.

However, after reviewing the material, Moya was not satisfied that the concerns raised had been adequately addressed.

“The material before me reflects a pattern of engagement and conduct over an extended period, including an inappropriate relationship between Morodi and Sergeant Fannie Nkosi. This raises serious concerns regarding the handling of information and adherence to the standards expected of members of the executive,” she said.

Moya also noted that some interactions highlighted during the commission involved the use of informal channels for matters that should have been handled through official processes.

The removal of Morodi was effected under Section 60 of the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, which empowers the mayor to appoint and dismiss members of the mayoral committee.

She emphasised that the removal should not be interpreted as a finding of guilt or a disciplinary sanction, but rather as a precautionary step to protect the credibility of the metro’s executive leadership while external processes continue.

The DA Caucus leader in Tshwane, Cilliers Brink, said Moya reconfigured her mayoral committee to replace the dismissed Morodi after her dealings with Nkosi were revealed at the Madlanga Commission.

Brink criticised Moya for allegedly ignoring wrongdoing by her ANC Deputy Mayor and MMC for Finance, Eugene Modise, who has been facing allegations of financially benefiting from city contracts since February 2025.

“The DA has now written to the Speaker to demand a new investigation into Modise following recent revelations at the Madlanga Commission linking him to additional companies doing business with the City of Tshwane,” Brink said.

Brink said the current investigation into Modise, which is yet to be presented before Council, was limited to his involvement with Triotic Protection Services, a company he founded, and a R300-million security tender awarded by the city.

That investigation was concluded in September 2025.

“Since then, new evidence and testimony have emerged at the Madlanga Commission, alongside evidence submitted by the DA, linking Modise to further entities benefiting from city business, including Tshwane’s water tanker contracts,” Brink added.

He said Modise served as Deputy Mayor and MMC for Finance during the 2024/25 financial year, when the metro spent R777-million on water tankers.

Brink said it is crucial to launch a fresh investigation into allegations of political interference, corruption, and improper benefit involving him.

“Mayor Moya and her ANC-led coalition cannot continue shielding Modise from accountability. The people of Tshwane deserve a government that roots out corruption, not one that protects those at the centre of it,” Brink concluded.
