City of Joburg claims it was investigating R80m PPE tender fraud before story broke

Johannesburg – The City of Joburg has defended itself against the allegations of tender fraud regarding personal protective equipment contracts of R80 million, saying it had conducted its own investigations even before the story broke as headline news earlier this week.

“To this end, and in line with the commitments made to transparency and good governance, the city had shared with the council the detailed reports on procurement and expenditure related to Covid-19 within the city. However, the council meeting, scheduled for September 29, and which was to have considered the latest update on the irregularities, was postponed,” he said.

“The leaked report is a draft status update that will be presented to the mayoral committee today for consideration and action. The auditor-general, in his 2019/20 audit report, decried the lack of consequence management for financial misconduct within the city over the past financial years and that was a trend the current administration is committed to abolish and overturn, he added.
