Action SA

Mr Mnisi forwarded a message to Sergeant Nkosi from the Deputy Executive Mayor Eugene Modise warning about people trying to influence the tender process related to Action SA and EFF.

“I forwarded this message from the Deputy Executive Mayor of the City ... Mr Eugene Modise ... the Deputy Mayor was telling me that to be careful, there are people who are trying to influence the process ... purporting to be from Action SA, EFF ... I shared with Sergeant Nkosi ... that this process ... people are so brazen ... trying to lure the Deputy Executive Mayor to interfere in procurement processes”

A meeting with ACTION SA and EFF was reported to have individuals from these groups attempting to assist in submitting names for companies to be favored, which displeased Mr Modise.

“So, in short, he was telling me that individuals, purported individuals from ACTION SA and EFF, wanted him to assist in submitting names for companies to be favoured. And that did not sit well with him.”

On 21 March, the Deputy Mayor warned Mr Mnisi that Action SA and EFF had asked him to interfere with the tender by putting forward five companies.

“On 21 March, the Deputy Mayor told you that Action SA and EFF had asked him to interfere with the tender by putting forward five companies.”

Mr Mnisi raised the threat of interference from Action SA and EFF with compliance people as a concern.

“You at no stage raised the threat of interference from Action SA and EFF with the compliance people? - The answer to that is yes.”

Vivian Morodi is a member of the Municipal Council of Tshwane representing Action SA.

“Is she a member of the Municipal Council of Tshwane ? ... That is correct ... Representing which party ? ... Action S A .”

Advocate Chaskalson summarises that General Dlamini gave two companies initially, then seven more companies supposedly from the Red Berets, that the CFO was to verify. The CFO then reported back about a meeting with Action SA and EFF where submitting five companies was considered an insult.

“General Dlamini gives you two companies who are the chosen vehicles for this tender... The CFO then says to you... I had a meeting with Action SA and EFF yesterday telling me to submit five is an insult and did not sit well with me.”
