Senior Airports Company SA executives have been implicated in a “fraudulent tender” that was allegedly inflated by almost R10 million after the bid was awarded and the contract signed with a different company that never submitted a bid.

The George Fivaz Forensic and Risk report, dated August 29 2019, found that the contract for the management of luggage trolleys at OR Tambo International Airport had been awarded to a company named Plan B Consulting CC. The company submitted a bid just below R9 million, but Acsa fraudulently signed the service contract with a different company, Plan B Trolley Engineering and Operations, of R18 million.

Acsa told City Press that a criminal case was opened against individuals implicated in the contract but declined to confirm their names.“The word ‘forensic’ does not automatically mean that a report’s contents should be treated as fact that would be accepted by a court of law,” said spokesperson Refentse Shinners.

Shinners said “the recommendations for disciplinary action have largely been implemented. The company is in the process of finalising the disciplinary processes”. Madiba said that in return, Plan B Consulting CC would gain financially from his work. However, a representative from Plan B Consulting CC told the investigators that Madiba was actually an employee of the company.

A memorandum on November 2 2017, which was only signed 20 days later, recommended Plan B Consulting CC as the winning bidder, and the tender amount recorded as R18 234 314.50. The investigators heard that “certain Acsa employees decided, in conjunction with Tshepo Tala Madiba to inflate the tender price of Plan B Consulting, from just below R9 million to more than R18 million”.
