Gauteng government warns developers of fake tender invitation for Lanseria Smart City project. SmartCity scam
The Gauteng Department of Economic Development is warning developers of a 419-type fraud scam, which is soliciting funds for purported participation in the Lanseria Smart City project.
The multibillion-rand project, which is a huge opportunity for developers, will require extensive work and investments in energy systems, water systems, roads and digital networks. “The Gauteng provincial government has become aware of an ‘invitation to tender’ in circulation, purporting to be issued in the name of Crosspoint Property Investments, soliciting bids from professionals and service providers for part of the build phase of the smart city,” reads the statement from the department.
Led by MEC Parks Tau, the Gauteng Department of Economic Development says it has appointed the Development Bank of Southern Africa as the implementing agent for the Lanseria Smart City. It will be undertaking roadshows to introduce the project management team to developers once appointed.
