A Limpopo mayor who was recently arrested in connection with the VBS Mutual Bank scandal had resigned with immediate effect.
Mathebe told Sowetan she decided to resign to honour the ANC's step aside rule, but declined to comment on whether she believed she would win the legal battle before her. Mathebe was arrested in connection with R190m deposit into now doomed VBS bank made by the Elias Motsoaledi local municipality during her tenure as mayor.
Mathebe said she planned to focus on her studies and was currently working on her honours degree in public administration. “Thank you to each and every one of you for giving me this opportunity and support to lead this incredible institution. I have thoroughly enjoyed working here and appreciate all the support given to me and hope that you’ll continue to support the incoming executive mayor,” she said.
