DA corruption to be exposed
The African National Congress will today hand over a formal complaint, consisting of an Affidavit and supporting documentation, requesting the Special Investigating Unit and Public Protector to commence an immediate investigation into Filcon Projects, its Director Saul Loggenberg and the hundreds of millions of rand that he received in tenders from the DA administration.
Premier Zille's continued silence on this grave matter has been deafening to say the least.
It is a travesty of justice that contracts in excess of R600 million were awarded to a businessman who has been barred from serving as a Company Director by the British Insolvency Service. We note that Loggenberg fled the UK after this finding and still owes creditors in excess of R5 million.
The complaint emanates from what is in our view a corrupt relationship that exists between the Democratic Alliance, Dan Plato Helen, Zille and Robin Carlisle and the company known as CF Projects Cape trading as Filcon and its director Saul Loggenberg.
The relationship between Dan Plato and Amy De Monrey is set out in the affidavit. Helen Zille tried to silence Mr. Colin Arendse through threats of legal action when he started to hold her and Robin Carlisle accountable for the financial misconduct of the City of Cape Town and the Provincial Department of Transport and Public Works.
Robin Carlisle misled the public and became abusive towards Mr. Colin Arendse when he tried as a citizen of the Republic of South Africa, to hold the referred department and in particular Robin Carlisle as head of the referred department. Robin Carlisle misled the public by stating that he became aware of CF Projects Cape (Pty) Ltd when the company applied fro business rescue. His department has been awarding contracts to the said company since 2011.
This conduct in particular the failure of Helen Zille, Robin Carlisle and Patricia De Lille to investigate the financial misconduct and rather sweep it under the rug, is a dereliction of their duties as the persons ultimately responsible in their various spheres of government.
We seek an investigation into the following:
1. The breach of the Public Finance Management Act, 1999, the Prevention Against and Combatting of Corrupt Activities Act, 2003, the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and or any other applicable legislation applicable in the use of public funds in awarding contracts to CF Projects Cape (Pty) Ltd t/a Filcon.
2. The breach of the National Treasury Regulations on supply chain management and or any other relevant policies and or regulations applicable to the use of public funds in awarding contracts to CF Projects Cape (Pty) Ltd t/a Filcon.
3. The specific payments made to either the Democratic Alliance, Helen Zille, Patricia De Lille, Dan Plato, Robin Carlisle and Amy De Morney and or any benefit drawn from any friend or family member and or and entity under their control or partial control of the aforementioned parties and the awarding contracts to CF Projects Cape (Pty) Ltd t/a Filcon.
4. The relationship between the Democratic Alliance, Dan Plato, Helen Zille, Patricia De Lille and Saul Loggenberg and the awarding contracts to CF Projects Cape (Pty) Ltd t/a Filcon.
5. The receipt of any funds by the previous UK entities under the control of Saul Loggenberg, by the Democratic Alliance and or Helen Zille, Dan Plato and or Patricia De Lille.
The abuse of public funds in these instances directly affects the poor and destitute and your urgent investigation and finalization of this matter is of paramount importance.
