FS Department of Police, Roads & Transport solicits 'donations' to eat with Zuma
19 October 2016
The Head of the Department (HOD) of Police Roads and Transport, Mr SJ Msibi, solicited R40 000.00 ‘donations’ from contracted service providers to ‘assist’ with payment for a table at an ANC gala dinner held with President Jacob Zuma on 21 July 2016, two weeks before the municipal elections on 03 August 2016.
The requests for these ‘donations’ to eat with Zuma on official Police, Roads and Transport departmental letters signed by HOD Msibi is evidence of blatant ANC corruption through the allocation of tenders that are tantamount to requests for bribes.
These revelations come on the heels of a recent Public Protector report into Operation Hlasela that condemns the conflation of party and State in the Free State.
HOD Msibi’s controversial appointment is currently subject to an investigation by the Public Service Commission in the Free State and was the cause of much strife between Premier Ace Magashule and former MEC, Butana Komphela.
