Premier Mathale must go! Pressure is mounting on Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale to resign, with an accredited youth movement the latest to call for his head. In the meantime Mathale’s wife is also in the spotlight, after it has been announced that the Police and the Hawks have confirmed that they are investigating her.
There seems to be almost no end to the scandals pertaining to corruption, tenderpreneurship, fraud, nepotism and bad governance in general • His business connections are well-known in both politics and business • Mathale’s multi-million Rand business empire extends beyond Limpopo • Salaries went up by 80% • R80 nett profit from a R121 million asset base! • Mathale has splashed out R½ million for state-of-the-art furniture for his office
