Transnet CEO Brian Molefe’s “relaxed demeanour” changed very quickly when a subordinate disagreed with him over the awarding of a lucrative tender, the state capture commission heard on Monday.
At issue was Molefe’s controversial decision to overturn the awarding of a system network contract to Neotel, giving it to his preferred bidder T-Systems instead. “I don’t think I had much of a choice, I thought my employment would be ended,” he told the commission, which is chaired by deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo.Van der Westhuizen explained that Molefe was in a relaxed mood but his demeanour started to change very quickly when he expressed a “different view” on the contract.
Van der Westhuizen said T-Systems squeezed through a R248m discount to Transnet, curiously after the tender process had been concluded. He stressed that the timing of the discount was not appropriate.Van der Westhuizen said Neotel wrote to Transnet after receiving a letter of regret regarding the contract, requesting reasons. He said the relationship between Neotel and Transnet was “extremely strained” after that.

OPINIONISTA: The NPA – On a trail of dishonesty and dirty laundryWhen Advocate Shamila Batohi started work four months ago as National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), expectations were high that some high-profile politicians and businesspeople would soon be charged with corruption, fraud, money-laundering and other crimes of dishonesty. But it was naïve to expect that corruption prosecutions were imminent. Although the recent establishment of an investigative directorate within the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) might speed things up, don’t expect to see Brian Molefe, Markus Jooste, Ace Magashule, or Bosasa’s Gavin Watson behind bars in the near future.
