IFP Calls For Inquiry Into Sale of Imbali Hostel Homes
|
The IFP calls for an investigation into the sale of men’s hostel houses in Imbali following allegations by the residents and local community that the sales have been riddled with irregularities and a lack of transparency. “For a long time, the community has been receiving contradictory responses around the sale of men’s hostel homes and the residents are rightly asking who owns the houses they live in,” said IFP MP Velaphi Ndlovu who resides in Imbali. The IFP calls for an investigation into allegations that the ongoing sale of men’s hostel houses in Imbali, which dates back to 1998, has been handled in contravention of the municipal policy and without adequate consultation with the residents. “We believe that only an impartial investigation can shed light into the sale procedures and the role former Msunduzi Municipality ward councillor Tu Zondi played in the process,” said Ndlovu. Zondi is now Deputy Mayor of the uMgungundlovu District Municipality. The IFP contends that the investigation into the sale of Imbali men’s hostel homes is owed to the residents and the wider community. “The investigation and the answers it will uncover should set a precedent for regular and transparent sales of similar properties in the future,” said Ndlovu.
