Municipal Manager Memani's repayment

Dear Members,

As you know we have been relentless in our pressure on Bitou to comply with the court order of October 2024 for the Municipal Manager, Mbulelo Memani to repay his R4.2m settlement award granted in May 2024.  In addition to letters to the Mayor, we also wrote to Helen Zille as well as requested information through a PAIA.

We are very pleased to report that Bitou Mayor Kamkam is finally enforcing a Writ of Execution issued against the Municipal Manager, Mbulelo Memani, to attach his assets.

We applaud the Mayor for taking this long-overdue step.

We continue, however, to demand evidence that SARS actually refunded the R1.9 million withheld from Memani’s irregular payout.  Also that Bulelani Bans has repaid Bitou for the legal fees wrongly paid on Memani’s behalf.  We are also questioning the ‘offsets’ that were made to Memani to reduce the payback amount.

We will continue to keep you informed.

Kind regards,
Steve Pattinson
