ActionSA in the North West notes the official media statement issued by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) confirming the arrests of Raymond Mogaile, ANC Bojanala Regional Secretary; Peter Legong, Madibeng Ward Councillor and MMC; and Menzi Mngadi, their driver. The trio appeared in the Pretoria Magistrates’ Court following their arrest at Menlyn on Thursday, 11 December 2025.
According to the Hawks, the three were caught in an intelligence-driven operation after allegedly demanding R300,000 from a local businessman in exchange for securing a municipal tender. These allegations strike at the heart of what has become a shameless culture of tender manipulation, gatekeeping, and personal enrichment that has taken root under ANC governance.
For years, residents of Madibeng have endured failing water systems, unstable electricity, unemployment, and collapsing municipal services yet those tasked with serving them are repeatedly implicated in schemes that prioritise personal gain over public good. The ANC’s leadership continues to demonstrate a deep rot of ethical decay, where public office is treated as a private opportunity rather than a public responsibility.
ActionSA reiterates that due process must unfold and the courts will determine guilt or innocence. However, allegations of this seriousness require undelayed political action, not silence or deflection. We call on the Executive Mayor of Madibeng to take decisive steps to protect the integrity of the municipality while the investigation continues.
We further call for a transparent, interference-free process to ensure that the public can trust that justice will not be compromised or politically manipulated. The Hawks’ swift intervention must signal a turning point where corrupt practices are confronted, not concealed.
ActionA remains unwavering in its commitment to restoring ethical leadership and clean governance in the North West. We will continue standing with communities who have suffered the consequences of corruption and mismanagement, and we will not relent until the culture of shameless exploitation within the ANC is brought to an end.
