Tshwane Mayor Removes MMC Kholofelo Morodi After Madlanga Commission Allegations

The decision underscores a push to shield the city’s institutions from interference.

Overview

  • Mayor Nasiphi Moya, in a statement Friday, removed Morodi as MMC for Corporate and Shared Services after reviewing her written response to concerns.
  • Evidence presented to the Madlanga Commission linked WhatsApp chats between Morodi and suspended Sergeant Fannie Nkosi to alleged tender and hiring irregularities in Tshwane.
  • Moya said the step was an administrative measure under Section 60 of the Municipal Structures Act to preserve public confidence, not a finding of guilt.
  • Morodi had been on special leave pending discipline, and ActionSA councillor Hannes Coetzee will continue to act in the portfolio to keep services running.
  • ActionSA welcomed the move, confirmed her suspension from party activities, and said its Gauteng leadership would weigh terminating her membership, with an apology issued to residents.
