TMPD3

There is a dispute about the instructions given by Mr Malatji regarding tender TMPD3, which is related to the probity report and court order involving the appointment of two contractors.

“there is some dispute about, about having been given to Mr Malatji ... it is just the issue of Mr Malatji's presence in a BEC meeting ... it was just on his view about the cancellation of that tender... the probity report that was, that in relation to tender 3, TMPD3 ... the appointment of the 2 contractors by a court”

Mr Mnisi denies knowledge of the request to cancel the award of tender TMPD3 and says he was not forwarded that message at all.

“Which is something I know nothing about. I do not know the gentleman who sent him that request. Secondly, he does not even forward me that message at all.”

Mr Mnisi disputes any bias or impairment of objectivity in handling tender TMPD1 or TMPD3 and vouches for the rigorous procurement process and probity report validity.

“There was no bias or any impairment of my objectivity in terms of handling both tenders...with a conclusive probity report from an external party validating that.”
