Political analysts have continued to weigh in on the alleged tender fraud debacle involving Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi.

Barely six months since former Gauteng Health MEC Bandile Masuku and President Cyril Ramaphosa’s spokesperson, Khusela Diko, were dragged before the ANC’s integrity committee to account for PPE tender irregularities, some analysts believe that the leaking of a recording in which Lesufi allegedly promises to fix tender issues for certain people has been called “strategic” and “a political play”.

His office said there was no"secret meeting" and the MEC had been invited by the SA National Civic Organisation as part of a community meeting last year. "At the community meeting, attended by school governing bodies , learner formations, business forums, school principals and community formations such as community policing forums, the MEC explained how contracts were advertised and adjudicated in government in general. For the record, this meeting took place in May 2020,” his office said.

Fakir maintains that although Lesufi’s performance as Gauteng MEC for Education may not have been that great, he doubted this latest attack had anything to do with his department’s performance.

A political play exposing fraud and corrupt government officials? Not allegedly when there's a recording. I'm somewhat confused as to what the definition of hard evidence is.

Quick question, how did he have a meeting with community when we were in a hard lockdown?

We shouldn't forget that the Private Schools Organisations in Gauteng don't want this man. We shouldn't be destructed by attempt to make his enemies to be black.

It's not an allegation there's a recording to evidence this. Lesufi must resign
