McKenzie Challenges Probe Deadline | Johannesburg News
Description
Gayton McKenzie is suing to stop a two-year provincial probe into how three million rand was raised and managed in the Central Karoo, arguing the investigation has expired under the Municipal Systems Act’s 90-day limit and is now overstepping by probing private finances. While he admits funds were handled outside official channels, he denies theft or personal gain. The government, led by MEC Anton Bredell, counters that McKenzie has repeatedly blocked the probe through failed legal challenges and insists the investigation is vital to hold officials accountable—warning that accepting McKenzie’s argument could let public officials evade scrutiny by simply waiting out deadlines.
