GAUTENG Premier Mathole Motshekga on Thursday accepted certain findings and recommendations of the Mokgoatleng commission of inquiry into irregularities at the Kempton Park/Tembisa Council on the East Rand. In a statement, Motshekga’s office said he referred the report to the council for consideration, comment and implementation of certain of the findings on Thursday. The commission found, among other problems, that certain provisions of the Local Government Transition Act were contravened and recommended that disciplinary action be taken against some officials.
