The ANC Tshwane Caucus learned with shock about the arrest of Solly Msimanga's brother, the DA's Gauteng premier candidate and former Tshwane mayor, for stealing computers from the Tshwane municipal offices. The ANC alleges that Msimanga presided over a kleptocratic government that employed unqualified relatives and friends. Over 100 computers were allegedly stolen by Msimanga's brother, who was caught on camera. The ANC calls for a thorough police investigation and will ensure officials who reported the case are not victimized.

1. STATEMENT OF THE ANC TSHWANE CAUCUS FOLLOWING THE ARREST OF THE DA’S GAUTENG PREMIER
CANDIDATE AND AXED TSHWANE MAYOR’S BROTHER FOR THEFT OF COMPUTERS AT THE TSHWANE
MUNICIPAL OFFICES
The African National Congress Tshwane Caucus has learned with disgust and great shock about the
arrest of the brother of the DA’s premier candidate and axed Tshwane mayor Solly Msimanga, who was
caught on video camera stealing computers from the city of Tshwane municipal offices.
It is quite clear that the axed Mayor and DA’s Premier candidate Mr. Solly Msimanga presided over a
kleptocratic government which employed at the nerve center and at the heart of the city’s
administration, body builders, incompetent, unqualified, inexperienced and unskilled, relatives, friends
and white DA members. The ANC calls on the city to investigate how Mishanga’s younger brother was
employed as a revenue consultant in the city and whether he qualified for the position in which he is
employed. The city of Tshwane has been turned by Solly Msimanga and his cronies as their personal
fiefdom in which they are not only involved in large scale corruption but also in petty crimes such as the
theft of the city’s assets.
It is reported that over 100 computers were allegedly stolen by Mr. Nkululeko Msimanga who was
caught on surveillance video camera following investigation by city officials who became concerned
after computers started missing over a period of months from 2016. The ANC calls on the Provincial
Police commissioner to oversee this case until its logical conclusion so as to avoid foul play. We also
applaud officials of the city who reported this case to the police. By robbing the call centre of these
computers in this act of brazen criminality the thugs have robbed society as a whole. We also call upon
the police not only to ensure that Mr. Msimanga faces the wrath of the law but to also find out whether
the computers are not used to run the Democratic Alliance’s election campaign at their offices in
Tshwane and Gauteng.
The ANC Tshwane caucus will follow up on this case and ensure that the officials who reported this case
are not victimized and purged by the political administration the DA. We will continue to work tirelessly
to expose the shenanigans of Msimanga and his gang who ruled Tshwane corruptly.
We call upon every member of the community and officials of the city to take ownership of the cities
asserts and properties and to jealously guard them as their own. It is this acts of brazen criminality that
undermine service delivery and ensure that our people are deprived of a better life.
Let’s grow South Africa together!
