City of Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya has reconfigured her Mayoral Committee to appoint a replacement for sacked MMC Kholofelo Morudi after mention of her dealings with Seargent Fannie Nkosi came to light at the Madlanga Commission.

Yet, once again, Mayor Moya ignored the wrongdoing of her ANC Deputy Mayor and MMC of Finance, Eugene Modise, who was exposed in February 2025 for financially benefiting from the municipality illegally.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Tshwane has now written to the Speaker to demand a new investigation into Deputy Executive Mayor Eugene Modise following the recent revelations at the Madlanga Commission linking him to more companies doing business with the City of Tshwane.
The current investigation into Modise, which is yet to serve before Council, was instituted after the DA exposed the awarding of a R300 million security tender by the City of Tshwane to Triotic Protection Services, a company he started. That investigation was limited to his involvement in Triotic and was concluded in September 2025.
Since then, new evidence and testimony have emerged at the Madlanga Commission, alongside evidence submitted by the DA, linking Modise to further entities benefiting from City business, including Tshwane’s water tanker mafia.
Given that Modise served as Deputy Mayor and MMC for Finance during the 2024/2025 financial year, when the City spent R777 million on water tankers, it is crucial that a fresh investigation be instituted into allegations of political interference, corruption, and improper benefit involving the Deputy Mayor. The DA has therefore called for a new investigation that takes into account all relevant evidence now in the public domain.
Mayor Moya and her ANC-led coalition cannot keep shielding Modise from accountability. The people of Tshwane deserve a government that roots out corruption, not one that protects those at the centre of it.
