Mabuza corruption
BLAMED: The Mpumalanga DA has said that deputy president David Mabuza is responsible for leaving communities in ruin. PICTURE BY 013NEWS/MLM.

The allegations are made by the opposition following a visit to Lekwa and Govan Mbeki.


An oversight visit by the DA has led to Deputy President David Mabuza being blamed for a failed housing project.

The party says they found people living in “undignified conditions” with collapsing sanitation services.

People feel they are being failed by the ANC government, DA spokesman Solly Malatsi said.

“The blame must be laid squarely at the feet of the province’s former Premier, DD Mabuza, because on his watch the ANC’s rampant corruption and failed service delivery left communities in ruin,” Malatsi said.

“It’s an indictment on Mabuza that the people of Lekwa and Holfontein are forced to live in unfit conditions, trapped in poverty as the corruption-riddled ANC clings onto power,” he said.

Homes of those who applied were being sold to other people by corrupt officials, the party says.

“In Ward 10, the construction of RDP houses is set to commence soon, however, there is no beneficiaries list. Our people deserve nothing less than qualified, safe and dignified houses,” said Malatsi.
