Acceptance of Responsibility for Accommodation Booking During SALGA Games
Cllr Musa Kubheka
ActionSA eThekwini Municipality Caucus Whip
I would like to take this opportunity to address an issue of utmost importance and offer my sincerest apologies to the residents and ratepayers of eThekwini Metro Municipality, municipal council, and my political party.
I acknowledge that I exercised poor judgment in accepting an accommodation booking provided by the eThekwini Metro Municipality for the SALGA Games.
This decision was a grave error that compromised public coffers and resulted in fruitless and wasteful expenditure.
Upon engagement with my leadership, I took immediate steps to reflect on my actions and their implications. I immediately cancelled the accommodation after sleeping for one night.
I wish to assure the residents of eThekwini that I am committed to accountability and transparency.
To this end, I have written to the Speaker requesting invoices for my accommodation, as I intend to personally reimburse the Municipality for the full amount allocated to me for the night.
I deeply regret the inconvenience and financial burden my actions may have caused and extend my profuse apologies to the ratepayers of eThekwini.
I should have known better and I do believe all councillors must take full accountability.
