STLM Solidarity Fund
The Council of the Steve Tshwete Local Municipality (STLM) sat on 30 June 2020 and resolved to establish an independent Board of Directors of the Municipal Solidarity Fund, in line with South African Local Government Association Guidelines.
The Middelburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) received a written request to nominate one representative to form part of the Board of Directors. The nomination would be done with NAFCOC to ensure that one representative is nominated.
MCCI’s nominee gave a declaration that the company he represents did not do business with STLM recently or was not planning to do business with STLM in the future. That request is part of MCCI’s endeavour not to expose our members to possible allegations of corruption. Also, you cannot give independent opinions, when you need to recuse yourself from the meeting when essential decisions need to be taken.
MCCI was informed this week that Mr Moeketsi Mpotu, Executive Member of MCCI has been appointed as Board Member.
