JOHANNESBURG - Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi is cracking the whip.
Lesufi has suspended Community Safety HOD, Nontsikelelo Sisulu and CFO Mduduzi Malope.
The move follows the findings of a forensic investigation.
The probe uncovered financial irregularities in the department.
Lesufi says he intervened to safeguard the department’s integrity.
He says the suspensions are a precautionary measure to ensure fair and unbiased investigations.
This past weekend, the premier released forensic investigation reports that painted a shameful picture of widespread misconduct.
