The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Sekhukhune District Municipality (SDM) is hailing a recent council resolution that seeks to investigate an allegedly illegal contract between the municipality and Lepelle Northern Water Scheme (LNW).

According to Ali Maloba, EFF Councillor in SDM, the council resolutions, taken on Thursday 30 October 2025, are a step in the right direction.

Part of the resolutions, the council resolved to launch investigation into contract entered into with LNW Scheme as soon as possible.

The council also resolved to probe alleged outstanding multi-million-rand invoices without evidence of projects done or completed by Lepelle Water Board.

Maloba stated that the SDM council agreed that they will also demand certificates of project completion submitted by LNW Scheme be investigated, while officials and the legal advisor responsible for signing the alleged illegal contract will be held responsible, including involved political leadership.

“As the Economic Freedom Fighters Sekhukhune District Caucus, we will continue protecting the public purse by exposing hidden organised corruption committed by state organs,” Maloba said.

Maloba indicated that the EFF has noted that Northern Lepelle Water Board continues to invoice Sekhukhune District Municipality for jobs not done, with “ghost invoices” being a major concern.

“The party has welcomed the council’s decision to challenge and revoke the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the municipality and Lepelle Northern Water Scheme,” he said.
