THE DA in the North West wants City of Tshwane Deputy Mayor Eugene Modise to appear before a provincial legislature portfolio committee to explain a lease agreement linked to his alleged R12.5 million debt in unpaid rent for the Morula Sun property, managed by the North West Housing Corporation (NWHC).

- RAPULA MOATSHE

The party has asked the portfolio committee on Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs to summon both Modise and the NWHC “to come and account for this convenient arrangement between an ANC politician and a failing provincial entity, currently governed by a board staffed by a cohort of ANC politicians”.

Modise, who is also the ANC chairperson in the Tshwane region, has reportedly denied owing NWHC, saying he won't let political gimmicks damage the relationship between his party and NWHC.

He claimed his administration has transformed the entity, curbed criminal activities, and put a stop to vandalism.
