ANC: Williams lobbied some of our Tshwane councillors to support R26bn tender

PRETORIA - The African National Congress on Thursday said Tshwane Mayor Randall Williams lobbied some of its councillors to support a R26 billion unsolicited tender for the refurbishment of two power stations.

A recording has surfaced where someone who sounds like Williams can be heard instructing officials to allow the unsolicited bid to go through in contravention of the Municipal Finance Management Act - said ActionSA.The Democratic Alliance and ActionSA are part of a multi-party coalition governing the city.

ActionSA national chairman Michael Beaumont said, on Thursday 11 August, DA councillors and Williams met with ANC and Economic Freedom Fighters councillors to solicit their support for the R26 billion tender. “I am certain if you as journalist approached them [ANC and EFF] on this matter to confirm if the meeting took place and what the purpose of the meeting was.”Matjila said they will be engaging other parties in council to support a motion of no confidence against Williams.

Maliciously spun misinformation spread against the Mayor. It is not about tender or procurement. It is about R26b foriegn investment proposals for power plant & hundreds of job opportunities.

A great platform that can make everybody smile, for my first time hearing about making money online, I thought is fake buy when I try it I realise that is real so I won’t keep silent I need everyone to smile like me Gabriel_FOS1
