The Pretoria High Court on Wednesday set aside a controversial City of Tshwane fuel tender that was awarded to three companies, including one that funnelled millions into accounts linked to EFF commander Julius Malema and secretary-general Marshall Dlamini.The payments appear to have been kickbacks in connection with the half-a-billion-rand tender, which the City awarded in January 2019 to supply it with fuel for a period of three years.
Kganyago’s payday is set to terminate early after rival bidder Q-tique 27 brought an application to have the tender set aside. Q-tique brought the application afterHendrick Kgyanago’s brother Stanley, a City official, was listed as the contact person on the tender advertisement, and participated in the bid specification.Judge Leonie Windell cited the “irrational” way in which the tender was evaluated – as detailed in our exposé.
In its bid, BBT offered implausibly low figures for fuel the City did not use, and for the two fuels, the City did use, its pricing came in significantly higher than its rival bidders.In scoring the bidders’ prices, the City simply totalled the figures for each fuel type and determined the aggregate price, without factoring the quantities of each fuel needed.
