Good in Virgill se hare oor 'n berg skuld
George Herald
|June 26, 2025
Die EFF-parlementslid Virgill Gericke, se skuldafbetaling aan Tuinroete-distriksmunisipaliteit is op 17 Junie by 'n vergadering van hul Munisipale Publieke Rekeninge Komitee (MPRK), 'n subkomitee van die munisipale stadsraad, bespreek.
Die kwessie was weer in die kollig nadat Good kort na dié vergadering 'n verklaring vrygestel het wat die vorige afbetaalooreenkoms bevraagteken.
Gericke was voorheen 'n raadslid van die PBI (Plaaslike Besorgde Inwoners) aan die distriksraad. Hy is intussen verkies tot EFF-lid van die parlement.
Gericke skuld die munisipaliteit nog 'n bedrag van knap oor die R90 000, nadat 'n administratiewe fout vroeër begaan is en R164 213 oor 'n tydperk van agt maande in sy rekening beland het. Hierdie inbetalings dateer vanaf 2017, toe Gericke op die distriksraad gedien het.
Met George Herald se dekking van die storie op 16 September 2021 (Councillor to pay back thousands), het die destydse burgemeester, Memory Booysen, gesê dat Gericke R500 sedert Augustus 2019 per maand terugbetaal, totdat die volle bedrag verhaal is.
Die MPRK-vergadering verlede Maandag, waar Gericke se saak bespreek is, was nie 'n konfidensiële vergadering nie.
