Mkhwebane launches probe into R4.5m Buffels River ‘erosion protection’ tender. By msindisifengu
Public Protector Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s office has instituted a preliminary probe into a R4.5-million tender won by a company whose owner allegedly met privately with an official at a state-owned entity before getting the contract to complete erosion protection structures in Buffels River, Laingsburg, in the Western Cape.
Schreeders, whose LC Joint Venture did not win the tender, lodged a complaint against Casidra and Meyer Beton, the company which won it in February. Segwale said the preliminary investigation, which would be completed by the end of this month, would determine whether a full-scale investigation was necessary.
Capazorio said Schäfer had contacted Casidra’s board chairperson Ainsley Moos to formally request that an investigation be undertaken.“While we wish for a speedy resolution, we would also want the investigation to be done thoroughly,” Capazorio said. Schreeders submitted the complaints after LC Joint Venture’s had appealed to Casidra about the awarding of the tender to Meyer Beton in March.Casidra spokesperson Experience Matshidiso said the appeals committee found that “no material evidence was provided” to support Schreeders’ claims.
