The mayor of Nketoana in the Free State appears to have spent about R100 000 on a rented car in a single month.
According to an invoice seen by GroundUp, mayor Mamiki Mokoena travelled 6 943km between 18 May and 18 June this year in a rented Toyota Fortuner.
The invoice from Avis suggests she was billed R64 893 for rent on the car. Records suggest about R34 000 was spent on her fuel card in this time. This follows two accidents in which the mayor's cars, owned by the municipality, were written off.
In August 2021, the mayor's BMW 4 series was in an accident.
The mayor then rented a car until August 2023, when a new car was bought. Over that time, according to a source in the municipality, R850 000 was spent on car hire.
The new car was involved in an accident in November 2023 and since then she has rented a car.
