Pietermaritzburg: The DA wants Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli to explain why he hired corrupt former Endumeni Municipal Manager Sithembiso Ntombela for a top job in his office. DA’s Tim Brauteseth says Ntombela quit his old job under a cloud of serious corruption charges. “He left Endumeni after a forensic investigation found he illegally gave a multimillion-rand security contract to FBL Security without following proper rules,” Brauteseth said. Endumeni is one of KZN’s worst-run municipalities, getting the lowest audit rating from Auditor-General Tsakani Maluleke.
