The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng is calling on individuals to bring forward any information and evidence on MEC Panyaza Lesufi’s alleged tender interference to the DA for further prosecution.
This follows reports of a clandestine meeting held by the MEC with his team and other stakeholders, where Lesufi discussed the awarding of his department tenders.
During the meeting, Lesufi allegedly stated that "our people should be satisfied... and looked after" in reference to who is awarded tenders and further expressed that when tenders are advertised, there must be communication about them among his people.
