Chair of the Bid Evaluation Committee

The communication involving Deputy Chief Dhlamini sending a list of seven bidders mandated by Nico to the Chair of the Bid Evaluation Committee to rig the tender in their favor is alleged to be related to procurement and possibly improper conduct, which Deputy Chief Dhlamini denies as procurement matter and describes as merely naming bidders possibly found on their website.

“It is not a procurement matter, SC ... I will describe it as an allegation that one is indicating the names of bidders ... He might have found them, I mean, on their website and so forth and indicated that ... That ... list of seven bidders specifically identified by Nico as the seven bidders she has mandated Victor to rig the tender in favour of.”
