City of Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba has allocated R38 million towards the fight against corruption‚ which he described as the city’s public enemy number one.

Delivering his 2016/17 Adjustment Budget on Thursday‚ he said the money would be used for the capacitation of the Anti-Corruption Unit led by General Shadrack Sibiya.

“The work that this team has produced without the required capacity is quite astonishing. It boggles the mind to think what they will achieve when fully capacitated‚” Mashaba said.

He added that the city had also allocated R5 million for the completion of the City’s Skills Audit.

“This is an imperative for this administration because we cannot have a City that performs for its residents if the wrong people are in the wrong position for the wrong reasons.”
