SASOLBURG - The Free State High Court has ruled that Lizelle Sake Trust must return all the money paid to the Metsimaholo Local Municipality in Sasolburg, Vaal Triangle. DA Free State Premier Candidate, Dr Roy Jankielsohn MPL, yesterday said in a statement after a successful bid by the DA to stop payments to the Trust on 28 July 2023, the municipality obtained an arbitration award on 13 October 2023 followed by the Council decision on 19 October 2023 to pay the Trust R43,2 million in monthly payments of five million rand. This was to compensate the Trust for bulk infrastructure installed on property owned by the Trust and later claimed from the municipality. Jankielsohn said the DA regards all payments made to the Trust as illegal and successfully requested the court to set aside the contemptuous arbitration and Council decisions.
