Cape Town is embroiled in a scandal involving alleged collusion between a highranking city official and the construction mafia and the criminal underworld. Investigations have uncovered corruption within the directorate, with officials manipulated by criminal syndicates. The city is committed to eradicating corruption and restoring public faith in its governance structures through impartial and fearless confrontation of misdeeds.
The City of Cape Town has taken action against seven companies associated with Nicole Johnson, wife of alleged gang leader Ralph Stanfield, as part of a wider investigation into city tenders. The move follows the death of Wendy Kloppers, a highranking city official, and the subsequent review of all tenders. Two construction contracts have been terminated and some officials from the Human Settlements Department are facing disciplinary hearings after allegations of manipulating tenders to benefit Johnson’s companies. The investigation into the potential connection between Johnson and her husband continues.
