KwaZulu-Natal, – Chris Pappas, a mayoral candidate aspiring to lead KwaZulu-Natal, has addressed allegations surrounding the allocation of funds to non-profit organizations (NPOs) managed by his fiancée within Umngeni Municipality. The controversy, sparked by former DA member Sizwe Mchunu’s letter to the Public Protector, raises concerns about transparency and potential conflicts of interest.
Pappas chose to clarify matters during a candid interview on Ukhozi FM. He disclosed that Umngeni Municipality routinely allocates funds to NPOs as part of its commitment to community development. These allocations, he explained, are based on strict criteria and thorough evaluations to ensure that they effectively support vulnerable communities.
Speaking specifically about his fiancée’s NPO, Pappas stressed that it underwent the same rigorous evaluation process as others. He emphasized that there was no favoritism involved in the fund allocation and expressed confidence in the selection process’s integrity.
