There were discrepancies between the proposed Bid Specification Committee members in the original TAR and the actual Bid Specification Committee members who approved the tender, with original members including Directors Racheku, N Moosa, Commissioner Sibaya, Faik Alexander, and Pieter Robinson, and actual members including Kes Matlapen (Chairperson), Vusi Nkuna (Director Land Invasion), Sipho Nkomo (Director TMPD), Faik Alexander (Director Secretariat Services), and Pieter Robinson (Group Legal Deputy Director).

“In the original TAR, there was a proposed Bid Specification Committee, which the department then proposed, which stated that these members are Director Racheku, Director N Moosa, Commissioner Sibaya, Mr Faik Alexander, and Mr Pieter Robinson. However, when these bid specifications were serving at the initial Bid Specification Committee on Monday, 1 September, the committee members that actually did the BSC, it was not the same as the Bid Specification Committee nominations. So the members in paragraph 11 then is the actual members who approved the bid specification of this tender, and they were Mr Kes Matlapen, he was a Director at the Tshwane Metro Police, he was the Chairperson, Mr Vusi Nkuna, which is indicated as the Director Land Invasion, a Mr Sipho Nkomo, Director Tshwane Metro Police, and Mr Faik Alexander, who is from Supply Chain Management, he is the Director of Secretariat Services, and then Mr Pieter Robinson, Group Legal Deputy Director for the Corporate and Council Legal Compliance.”
