Hani said Kgobokoe, who faces eight charges of corruption and fraud, was remanded in custody and was expected back in court on October 14 for a bail application.The arrests triggered the ANC’s “step aside” clause which effectively suspends party members from public office if they are accused of criminal charges. Louw and Hangana were removed from the ANC’s candidate lists ahead of the upcoming local government elections.
In its 2019/2020 municipal audit report, the auditor-general gave a disclaimed opinion in its report for Beaufort West, meaning the auditors were not given sufficient evidence on which to base their audit opinion. “This kind of reporting adversely impacts on the reputation of a municipality and has consequences for all municipalities,” read the statement.
Western Cape ANC spokesperson Sifiso Mtsweni said while Hangana and Louw were both strong ANC candidates, the party had many candidates on its list for the Beaufort West municipality for the upcoming elections.
