One of the allegations being that she had a personal makeover for a function at the city's expense
The City of Johannesburg is investigating allegations of corruption against member of the mayoral committee for public safety Matshidiso Mfikoe, the city said on Thursday.
Mfikoe was apparently accused of using of City Parks’ money to buy herself birthday and Valentine’s Day presents, to host a birthday party, and to have a cosmetic makeover.
The accusations would be treated as “hearsay” and innuendo until the formal investigation had been completed, council spokesman Gabu Tugwana said in a statement.
Tugwana said Mfikoe had indicated her readiness to co-operate with the investigation.
She has been responsible for the city’s public safety portfolio since May 2011.
