Military veterans’ company was ‘used’ to secure lucrative tender and then immediately ‘sidelined’

City Press has learnt that the office of Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane and the Hawks are investigating “irregularities” associated with the tender which was won by Pro Secure in August 2018.

The tender was meant for the deployment of security guards at municipal facilities for a period of 36 months, starting from October 1 2018. “Regrettably, immediately after the subcontracting agreement was signed, Pro Secure declared its intention not to abide by the signed agreement. However, it appears that both have resigned from the funeral brokerage. It is unclear if they resigned before or after the tender was issued.Morake alleged that at the meeting with Pro Secure, the company had made an offer to Mogaka, saying it believed it would be easier for its team to run the project on its own.

He said they rejected the offer and advised Pro Secure that they felt that abandoning this opportunity would defeat the purpose the project was intended to achieve.Public Protector
