Assistant Director Maposho confirmed he asked Warrant Officer Morris and Captain Nortje for statements during the investigation but did not speak to the analyst or Modise.

Deputy Mayor and Mr Modise were concerned about people trying to influence the process improperly, and safeguards needed to be maintained.
“The Deputy Mayor is even facing issues of this nature and is raising severe alarms, which I had alerted you on. There is nothing we can do on this matter. Compliance cannot be checked. The process must be followed to the T.”
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.”
In a telephone call, Mr Modise said that the entities ACTIONSA and EFF were telling him to submit 5 names to be favored for the tender, which he found insulting.
“he was saying to you that these two entities, or one of them, was telling him to submit 5 names to be favoured for the tender, and he found it to be an insult”
Probity would not have detected external attempts to influence the tender process, such as approaches to Mr Modise or Sergeant Nkosi to influence compliance and the tender.
“Probity would not have picked up attempts, external attempts to interfere in the process. For example ... that Mr Modise has been approached to do something ... Sergeant Nkosi asked you to confirm compliance, and later on you suspect ... wanted you to influence the tender. Probity would not have picked up this mandate to Victor.”
