Moshodi is the former mayor of the Ngwathe municipality and was inaugurated last Friday as executive mayor for the district municipality that oversees Ngwathe and three other local municipalities.

The report of the auditor-general, which was tabled in the council this year, accused Moshodi and Ngwathe municipal manager Norman Selai of of financial irregularities.

"More than R500million was unaccounted for," said PAC Free State secretary Papi Mafubedu, who laid the corruption charge.

The report further says that 19 suppliers to the municipality were found to have the same bank account numbers as other suppliers.

"This might result in payments being wrongly or fraudulently deposited into the bank accounts of other suppliers," the report said.

"What the ANC is saying is that he (Moshodi) must go and loot more," Mafubedu said.

Last month the municipality's executive committee suspended head of procurement Makale Mogale, but Selai later reinstated him.

"The suspects should have been arrested four months ago. We have been waiting for the response on what is happening with the case. There is a clear indication that there is political interference," Mafubedu said.

Free State National Prosecutions Authority spokesperson Medupe Simasiku said the case had been taken back to the police for investigation.

"It was not clear from the police investigation who had approved the money. The docket has been sent back."

ANC Free State spokesperson William Bulwane confirmed Moshodi's inauguration.

"In the ANC, once the higher structure has decided, we all have to respect the decision as disciplined members ... even if we didn't like the decision," Bulwane said.

By inaugurating him this message shows the thew ANC turns a blind eye to corruption and actually supports it. Crystal clear. He should be dismissed immediately with no benefits.

The principle of not guilty until proven guilty by the court of law sucks, and need to be visited to. Corrupt officials are clever (Strategic) and they know how to cover their ASS.

Hes in Ace Magashules good books,so theres gonna be no action taken against him, how do you retain and promote someone though they are still under investigation or suspended. Ace has a way of doing things even giving tenders to his son. They want the corrupt,uneducated off the cuff speaking people.the only thing they do is sign for approval and dont question anything done by municipality as Ace has the upper hand.
