The below response was provided by the Mpumalanga province:
1. The Emalahleni municipality section 106 investigation report has not yet been officially released by the provincial government. The report is yet to be tabled before the provincial executive council and then be tabled before the municipal council for them to adopt and develop an action plan to respond to the findings. It would be premature to make any pronouncements on the contents of the report until it is tabled at both the executive council and the municipal council.
2. The report will be tabled before the municipal council after it has been tabled before the provincial executive council.
(3) As indicated above the report has not yet been officially released by the provincial government.
(a) Not applicable.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) Not applicable.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
