Lt-Gen Shibiri admits to a mistake of not checking the date of a quotation and relied on his son for the information that R55,000 was the cost quoted by JBI for a panel beater fix.
“It was my mistake. I did not check the date, but that is what I was informed by my son on the 12th.”
Lt-Gen Shibiri confirms the R55,000 figure does not include labour, and the actual paid labour cost was R25,000 with parts bought separately due to risk of non-delivery by the panel beater.
“It was including even the labour. And I indicated that we paid him the labour of R25000 and opted to buy the parts ourselves because sometimes they will take the money and then the parts do not come.”
Lt-Gen Shibiri acknowledges that the second quotation dated 19 September 2024 was only received after the loan had already been requested, explaining that it was the proper written quotation for R53,000 replacing the prior verbal R55,000 figure.
“Vehicle is taken there and then that estimate of R55000 is given to him. The quotation is not yet given to him. Then it was issued on the 19th. That is my answer.”
