DURBAN - In one month alone last year, eThekwini Municipality allegedly paid more than R1.2 million to individuals for work they never did.
This has been revealed in a forensic investigation report compiled by the city integrity and investigations unit (CIIU).

The report focuses on “ghost employees” in the city’s Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) and payments of inflated daily rates to individuals.

Life has always been good for "politicians" and their families.

Although criminal charges were recommended against a Safer Cities official, Andile Shangase, and disciplinary action against three of his senior managers, including former head of Safer Cities, Martin Xaba, the municipality has so far only suspended Shangase pending a disciplinary hearing.

And here is the problem, no accountability.
