On Wednesday, Moya announced that ActionSA’s Flora Monama would replace Kholofelo Morodi , who is linked to suspected tender fraud and is currently being investigated by the commission.
Monama’s Credentials
“Monama brings more than 30 years of senior public sector experience, spanning human resource management, labour relations, compliance oversight and organisational administration,” Moya said.
“In her current role, she serves as chair of the Section 79 committee on utility services, where she has overseen municipal accountability and key service delivery functions.”
Moya described the corporate and shared services portfolio as the backbone of the city’s administration.
“It provides the administrative, human resources and organisational support required for all departments to function effectively. It requires disciplined leadership, strong systems and a clear focus on operational efficiency.”
The DA’s Criticism
DA Tshwane mayoral candidate Cilliers Brink criticised the appointment and asked why Moya had ignored the wrongdoing of her ANC deputy mayor and MMC of finance, Eugene Modise.
Modise was allegedly implicated in financially benefiting from the municipality illegally in February 2025.
Brink said the DA has now written to the speaker of council to demand a new investigation into Modise following recent Madlanga Commission revelations linking him to more companies doing business with the City of Tshwane.
“The current investigation into Modise 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 that he started.”
The Water Tanker Connection
Brink said new evidence has emerged 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 Bottom Line
Morodi is out. Monama is in. But the DA says the real problem is Modise.
Moya has appointed a new MMC. The DA is demanding a new investigation.
The fight for accountability in Tshwane is far from over.
