Kgotso Khumalo, the former mayor of JB Marks Local Municipality, continues to earn a councillor's salary despite being implicated in Covid-19 procurement corruption. The Special Investigating Unit was concerned that no action had been taken against Khumalo despite evidence that he had allegedly facilitated an illegal deal related to Covid-19 procurement. The SIU probed procurement in the North West municipality and found that several service providers were overpaid for services. The unit also found that Khumalo had a hand in facilitating a R1.2-million contract to Potch-Tlokwe Chamber of Commerce.
