"I'm proud that the motion of no confidence against me was not about corruption. I was accused of baseless allegations of interference on the administration. The auditor-general report clearly shows that this cash-strapped municipality has R7.38 billion unauthorised, fruitless and wasteful expenditure.
"My sin was to request a management report and recommended thorough a investigation. I have documents of unfinished projects for which millions of rands were paid. I won't fold my arms where corruption raises its ugly head. I have received strange WhatsApp messages and calls from unknown people. The different girls were sent to seduce me and later confessed why," he said.
Lebesa survived the motion of no confidence after DA and ANC councillors voted against the MAP16 motion.
Maluti-a-Phofung Municipality is ranked among the worst municipalities in the country, with a R7.5 billion debt to Eskom.
For years, the municipality has been struggling to provide water and electricity to residents.
