THE City of Tshwane's allocation of service stands to Zithobeni Heights residents has been rocked by allegations of illicit sales of sites intended for beneficiaries in need.

- RAPULA MOATSHE

Tshwane's Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Human Settlements, Aaron Maluleka, expressed concern that some beneficiaries are selling their allocated stands shortly after receiving them.

He made this revelation during a visit to the area on Friday, accompanied by Deputy Executive Mayor Eugene Modise.

The visit was aimed to address allegations that threatened to deny deserving residents their rightful allocation of sites.

Maluleka called for an investigation into the matter, with the City's Group Audit and Risk division tasked with determining the full extent of these unlawful activities.
