The investigation found that the municipality had procured just over R180 million in stock, which exceeded its budget. This week the SIU stated that it would specifically investigate the SCM/20-27/S tender as well as alleged maladministration and unlawful conduct related to it. “It is mind-boggling how this could be allowed to happen,” said Zumani.
