RECENT threats against North West Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) chairman Hlomane Chauke have sprung the legislature into action.
Dan Delebano, a man who describes himself as a "close friend" of North West social development MEC Mosetsa-nagape Mokomele-Mothibi, was heard on an audio recording talking about a need to "stop" Chauke.
This was after Chauke recommended that Mokomele-Mothibi should pay back the R174000 used by the department on a trip to Bloemfontein last December.
Mongezi Tsenca, spokesman for legislature speaker Supra Mahumapelo said security measures had been put in place to thwart the alleged threats. "... the police have been requested to investigate the threats and make a security risk assessment of [Scopa] members," Tsenca said.
However, Scopa member and DA leader in North West, Chris Hattingh, said security arrangements had not changed.
