Tshwane MMC sheds light on Iranian embassy talks
The Star
|July 28, 2025
THE City of Tshwane's MMC for Corporate and Shared Services, Kholofelo Morodi, has clarified discussions with the Iranian embassy regarding the use of public properties, including the underutilised Pretoria city hall.
This comes amid public interest and speculation about a potential partnership with the embassy.
The controversy erupted after a recent media report suggested Iran might be involved in repairing and leasing the Pretoria city hall.
DA caucus leader Cilliers Brink expressed concern over potential Iranian involvement, citing that the matter had never been discussed or approved by the city council.
“The DA's written question about the dealings between Tshwane and the Iranian Embassy will have to be answered at the August meeting of the municipal council,” Brink said.
