The timetable for hearings into the City of Cape Town’s spy-allegation controversy will be released to the public on Tuesday, the Erasmus Commission of Inquiry said.
Commission spokesperson Zithulele Twala on Monday said the commission had already finalised the timetable.
Headed by Judge Nathan Erasmus, the commission was appointed by Western Cape Premier Ebrahim Rasool in December to probe allegations of possible maladministration, corruption and fraud within the city.
The commission will probe the city’s conduct during its investigation into councillor Badih Chaaban following claims that the council had employed underhanded tactics when gathering evidence against the controversial councillor.
The inquiry will also establish whether the city paid for work done by George Fivaz and Associates or any other service provider relating to the matter before they were appointed by the city, whether the payment was lawfully made, and if policies of the council structures were transgressed. — Sapa
