Staff reporter 

Qonce – The Chief of Staff in the office of the Premier has allegedly told the chairperson of the disciplinary hearing of Mosa Masemene, that his boss, Joyce “Pretenders” Mathae, is “against corruption”. 

Kgotso Morapela, former member of Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) who returned to the African National Congress (ANC) testified in the case against Masemene, the suspended head of department at Public Works and Infrastructure. 

This is the same Mathae who threatened contractors with termination if they don’t plough back that Morapela calls a a corruption fighter.

This borders on corruption” – contractors accused Transport MEC

Masemene was placed on suspension by Mathae following the PSC report in which it recommended disciplinary action against her.  

Mathae (the corruption fighter) through her lawyer, Advocate Zola Majavu vowed to take Patrick “The Butcher” Phuti to court following the expose, and nine months later, Phuti has never been taken to court. 

Majavu gave Phuti a deadline or face the music.

Phuti placed both Mathae who, according to Morapela is a (corruption fighter), at the crime scene together with Tau Pele Construction. 

The Hawks concluded their investigations in December and the NPA is yet to decide whether to charge Mathae or not. 

This is a developing story.
