According to IOL, the municipality spokesperson, Nntobeko Mkhize, confirmed that the sponsorship exists but did not confirm whether any amount of the money alleged to have been part of the deal was transferred to Mkhize.

She also pointed out that the municipality was looking to make economic gains from the sponsorship, citing that they are responsible for ensuring that economic and social development is front and centre for the municipality.
