City of Johannesburg mayor Kabelo Gwamanda says he is yet to be furnished with the scathing Khampepe Inquiry report, as promised by the Office of the Premier.

News24 however, has seen documentation to the office of the mayor from Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi since the report’s release.

The document is dated Sunday; however, the premier’s spokesperson Sizwe Pamla said the memo was written on Sunday, but because the office was empty, it was only sent on Monday.
