Senior political lecturer at North-West University Dr Benjamin Rapanyane said the allegations were serious and could raise a conflict of interest in financial dealings within the city.

"To ensure full compliance with the governance and ethical standards, the deputy mayor must comply with the law to establish if he benefited from the contract," he said.
