Ekurhuleni mayor Xhakaza hints at corruption link to auditor's killing
'It is such things that auditors like Mpho would help us determine where the funds went when I have to account as the mayor,' Xhakaza said.
Mafole was more than a government employee. He was an activist who believed in accountability and clean governance, he said.
'The city and country have lost a man of integrity. We will continue to fight and make sure justice is served.'
Mafole's killing comes amid the R2bn revenue shortfall that has exposed the city's financial mismanagement. Calls are growing for a full probe into irregular expenditure and contracts.
No arrests have been made in connection with Mafole's murder. Police are investigating.

Gauteng ANC wants comprehensive report into murders of several municipal officials
JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress (ANC) in Gauteng wants a comprehensive report from law enforcement authorities on investigations into the murders of several municipal officials. This was sparked by the recent gruesome murder of the Ekurhuleni Metro's senior auditor, Mpho Mafole. Mafole was shot on the R23 highway in Kempton Park by unknown gunmen. During a media briefing in Johannesburg on Wednesday, the ANC in Gauteng condemned the targeting of municipal officials. Earlier this month, Eyewitness News reported that the murder of senior city of Ekurhuleni Auditor Mpho Mafole was connected to his investigation into the disappearance of R2 billion. Just days before his assassination, Mafole had submitted a report and charge sheet outlining those implicated in the metro's R2 billion shortfall. African National Congress Gauteng co-convenor, Hope Papo, warned that the ongoing killings of auditors and municipal officials would deter others from carrying out their duties diligently, out of fear for their safety. "The Gauteng premier, Panyaza Lesufi, must urgently engage law enforcement agencies to get a report on the cases currently being investigated and to request closed cases to be reopened in all regions." In Tshwane, an ANC ward councillor was recently killed in a hail of bullets.

Gayton McKenzie names potential sponsors for South African F1 Grand Prix
Sport, arts and culture minister Gayton McKenzie has given the strongest indication yet that the country may be close to securing a round of the Formula One championship at Kyalami. Speaking to parliament on Tuesday, he said after meetings with the management of F1, the 'crucial one' would happen in the next two weeks and would be attended by potential sponsors ready to fund the event, which reputedly costs about R2bn. Expected to take place in 2027, it would be the first F1 race to be held in South Africa since 1993, a grand prix won by Alain Prost in a Williams. McKenzie's comments come after Kyalami was recently given the green light for upgrades by the FIA, the organisation that runs F1 racing. Kyalami owner Toby Venter revealed last month the FIA had accepted final design proposals to upgrade the 4.5km circuit from Grade 2 to Grade 1 status, the international standard required to host Formula One racing. The upgrade requires no change to the circuit layout and focuses on enhancing run-off areas, barrier systems, debris fencing, kerbs and drainage. 'When we hosted the Fifa World Cup, we put our country on the map to host big events, and we should not turn back now,' McKenzie told parliament on Tuesday. 'What will be different this time is that government will not be expected to pay. Companies such as MTN, MultiChoice, Heineken and many more have raised their hands and will be present with us in the meeting with Formula One management at the end of the month. 'We've even had patriots saying whenever you need help come to us, one of them being the richest man in the country, Johann Rupert.' In December McKenzie set up an F1 bid steering committee to consider submissions from local promoters and three were received: one from Kyalami and two from Cape Town. While no official announcement has been made about which bid was successful, it is all but certain that Kyalami, which hosted its first F1 race in 1967 and has long held a prominent place in local motorsport, is the preferred option. Several attempts to bring the Grand Prix back to the country were thwarted due to the high cost of hosting the event. As a motorsport fan, McKenzie has campaigned for the country to be on the F1 calendar since his appointment as sports minister in July 2024. He said F1 can't be considered a world championship if it misses an entire continent. Morocco and South Africa have hosted world championship grands prix in the past, Casablanca in 1958, South Africa in East London in the 1960s and Kyalami 20 times between 1967 and 1993. McKenzie kick-started the process when he met Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in September. He said many laughed when he said Formula One should come back to South Africa. 'To those who say the country can't afford to host the F1, I'm saying the country can't afford not to host it,' he said, referring to the economic benefits he believed the event could bring in terms of tourism and temporary job creation. It is not known how much tickets would cost, but they are likely to be expensive. The cheapest adult ticket at this year's Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne was about R2,000.

EFF says won't allow Starlink in SA, calls company a security threat
CAPE TOWN - The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) says it won't allow Starlink to enter the South African market, calling the satellite internet company a security threat. The party also repeated its objection to new regulations by Minister Solly Malatsi to allow equity equivalence for multinational information and communications technology (ICT) sector global players. Equity equivalence is investing in other forms of transformation, instead of companies offering a 30% stake to local black investors. READ: Starlink plans R2bn investment to bypass BEE regulations and switch on service in SA Parties again voiced their objection to Starlink during the communication and digital technologies budget debate following its tabling by Malatsi on Friday. EFF Member of Parliament Sinawo Thambo said amending BEE regulations on local ownership can't be done through a policy directive by the minister. Malatsi stated that the regulations are to align ICT sector codes and broader transformation laws. 'This is a proposal we've objected to because the so-called alignment would require an amendment to legislation and can't be achieved through a ministerial policy directive,' said Thambo. He added that the directive was designed to allow the likes of the Elon Musk-owned Starlink to operate in the country, and this can't be allowed. 'Even if Starlink were to meet equity equivalence requirements, there's a security threat that it poses that must never be allowed to operate in South Africa, and we will never allow it.' The African National Congress (ANC)'s Khusela Diko also added her opposition, saying multinational platforms like Starlink can't be allowed to dictate the country's digital reality.
