Tshwane's controversial GladAfrica tender faces another forensic probe
27 August 2019
Another independent forensic investigation into the GladAfrica tender controversy at the City of Tshwane is underway.
This is the second independent investigation into the project management contract, which saw most of the City's infrastructure spending outsourced to GladAfrica, a private project management firm.
The tender was cancelled by mutual agreement between the City and GladAfrica earlier this year. It cost the City nearly R500m since its inception in November 2017. The expenditure was ultimately declared irregular by the Auditor-General.
Law firm Bowmans was appointed by the City in 2018 to investigate the issue, and a leaked version of that preliminary report revealed GladAfrica's appointment was irregular.
