City of Tshwane resolves to institute probe tender irregularity allegations
11 September 2018
The City of Tshwane has resolved to institute an investigation into allegations of tender irregularities in the City.
Spokesperson Samkelo Mgobozi said the council also elected to withdraw some of the authority delegated to City manager Moeketsi Mosola and to empower the chief operating officer (COO) to appoint an independent investigator.
"While this is not ideal, the executive will exercise maximum oversight of the investigative process to ensure that the integrity of the investigation is safeguarded and all the facts that culminated in the conclusion of this transaction are established, and any wrongdoing is expeditiously dealt with," Mgobozi said.
In August, the City found itself in hot water after allegations of tender irregularities, following a reported R12bn deal with a company to oversee project management in the capital city.
