The former municipal boss faces charges of contravening the municipal Finance Management Act and the irregular awarding of a multi-million Rand IT tender. The SIU on Monday advised: “Nkhumise is accused of unlawfully appointing Flame IT Strategy to render ICT services to the Moretele Municipality to the tune of approximately R215 million.” An investigation revealed that Moretele paid far more than what another municipality had paid Flame IT. Madibeng municipality paid Flame IT R64-million compared to the R250 million that Moretele municipality paid the IT company for the same services.
