This as a disgruntled councillor, Sello Moraka, took the decision by the F4SD to remove him as a deployee to court while alleging that those asking questions about the financial statements of the party were being targeted and removed from the party.

This, however, has been dismissed by the president of the party, Mbahare Kekana, who says councillors are simply trying to evade their responsibilities by playing a victim card. He says Moraka and others within the organisation have all of a sudden developed an untouchable attitude towards the organisation whereby they refused to account to the very same organisation which deployed them. Kekana lambasted Moraka, saying the latter could only manage to deliver a mere four votes for F4SD during the general elections on 8 May 2019 and that his organisation will act against the laziness of the deployees.

Kekana further says, in fact, the organisation will push for the municipality to attach Moraka’s property with the hopes of paying the party’s legal fees, following the dismissal of his case by the court. “The narrative issued by the lazy deployees hidden behind a concerned group that the F4SD leadership is targeting them, lacks truth and substance and is full of hogwash.”

“F4SD will continue holding its deployees to account to their communities and won't hesitate to act against any laziness within,” says Kekana. “F4SD hopes that this will be a lesson to deployees who feels entitled to positions.”

Kekana previously told OFM News that the councillors are not dismissed but removed as deployees of the party and says no-one is born deployed. He said to stay deployed within the party takes hard work.

Media reports earlier said that the councillors claim that they contribute 15% of their salaries to the party as a pledge each month, but do not know what happened to that money.
