The City Council of South Fulton, Atlanta, has voted to audit South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamau’s expenditures after making over $26,000 worth of purchases, including a trip to Africa.
The Mayor, who plans to legally change his name to Kobi, was previously arrested while serving as Mayor in 2023 on charges of first-degree burglary and criminal trespassing. Kamau reportedly entered somebody’s lake house before 7 am one morning and got into a heated confrontation with the owner of the house before police arrived.
Upon being arrested for trespassing and attempted burglary, he told a reporter, “I just wanted to see the house… I thought it was abandoned.” He continued, “I hope that the spotlight that is on our city right now will highlight some of the inequities that have been happening.”
“I think that’s for the voters to decide,” he responded when asked if he was guilty.

Now, Kamau is under fire for apparently stealing tens of thousands of dollars in city funds.
A list of transactions shows 112 receipts, totaling close to $26,000, was provided by Councilwoman Helen Willis.
South Fulton Mayor Pro Tem Pritchet says that whether or not Kamau made unauthorized purchases “has not been determined at this time.” She added, “It can appear so, but without an explanation from him that would put those expenditures in context, it would just be sheer speculation.”
During the Tuesday night city council meeting, the Mayor complained, “I am so distressed and disappointed that the blackest city in the United States of America is heading into Black History Month with its all black Council tearing each other down.”
Helen Willis fired back, “It was you who want to sit around and call us the blackest city and say we want to tear each other down. We’re not tearing you down. You took your black behind over to Africa for 20 days and didn’t tell anybody”
