Ekurhuleni DA wants SIU to take over matter that auditor Mpho Mafole died probing! The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Ekurhuleni wants the Special Investigating Unit to take over the “missing billions” probe which the city’s slain auditor, Mpho Mafole, died investigating.
Earlier this year, the metro lost over R2 billion in revenue as a result of thousands of breached electricity accounts.

Mafole, the city’s former divisional head of forensic auditing, was looking into the matter before he was killed in a hail of bullets in June.
DA Ekurhuleni caucus leader, Brandon Pretorius, said that the party trusted the SIU to get to the bottom of the case.
“We cannot allow for a precedent to be set where certain professions in the public service, who work to combat corruption, are targeted. Whistle blowers, trying to end corruption, cannot become collateral, while the corrupt act with impunity. The DA will lay these charges, as we are committed to ensuring accountability and restoring integrity within our democratic society.”
Special Investigating Unit probes can only be triggered through a proclamation by the state president.
