A company which was awarded more than R200 million in contracts by Transnet – and which also paid a deposit for the home of one of the parastatal’s top executives – has been ordered to repay all profit it made from the deals

Among the benefits that the Transnet employee got from the “corrupt” relationship with the engineering firm were funds for a luxury home as well as for five scooters bought in China.

“Mr Sithole paid the deposit on the purchase of an immovable property by Mr Msagala. Mr Sithole purchased scooters for Mr Msagala while they were in China together. It shows that five months later, IGS was awarded its first contract from Msagala’s division and was paid R10 million.In September 2015, the judgment continues, Msagala registered at least three trusts in the space of three days.

“The failure to follow the proper procedures in awarding the contracts affected the outcome. There is no gainsaying that it affected the outcome in a material way. Transnet was never given the opportunity to assess whether IGS or IGS JV were the best suppliers of the goods and services it ultimately sourced from them.”The judgment notes that IGS argued that it was prejudiced, given that Transnet had taken long in filing its review application in court – it did so in 2017.

Analysis: EFF NPA: Dogwhistles, rogue generals, new leadership and a firm vision of a socialist future (VBS? Not so much…)The EFF emerged from the third day of its gruelling Second National People's Assembly with a newly elected top six leadership which expects members to give birth to themselves, and in so doing, midwife a pan-continental socialist future. “I am not your father (...) you must each one become the Malema of your branch”, Malema told the fighters Some may ask why you bother reporting on the EFF after being banned. I reluctantly read your report but soon realized that juxtaposed to News24's fluffy reporting probably driven by fear of being booted out, it is once again refreshing to read solid investigative DM reporting.👍
