Cainan

Sergeant Nkosi informed the CFO about a meeting with Cainan and others regarding the process, emphasizing protocol must be observed and that kuMfowethu is the only gateway.

“I had a meeting with Cainan and those guys today. As I indicated, I have told them that they should go back where they have started kuMfowethu. I said to them he is the only gateway. They cannot go over the back door. I will only be able to assist if I get an indication from kuMfowethu. Protocol must be observed at all costs.”

The General instructed that the budgets would be adjusted to ensure payment despite the amount being higher than expected.

“I have spoken to Cainan and Vusi also to increase the target value as the amount is a bit higher. And as soon as all of them are released, all of them, more than one, I will let you know for his intervention to ensure that Tommy makes payment urgently.”

Sergeant Nkosi stated he was merely passing the message and did not think it would be a problem for Cainan and Vusi to communicate through him despite his lack of knowledge in municipal finance.

“I was just passing the message. So, I did not think that it would be a problem for them to communicate through me. So, I took it from the General to the CFO. My understanding was that they were going to adjust the budget so that the outstanding invoice would be paid.”

Sergeant Nkosi was informed about a planned meeting involving Gubis, Cainan and the General, but the General declined the meeting aiming to keep communication centralized.

“I think the General was informing me that there was a meeting that was to be held by Gubis and Cainan and him now. That is the General. So, the General declined that meeting because according to me, understanding this message, he wanted the centre of communication to be one.”
