The money was taken from a ring-fenced fund meant for the development of Mahikeng and surrounding areas, which continue to be faced with serious service delivery problems including potholed and generally bad roads, non-functional street lights, as well as water and sanitation challenges.Mokgoro authorised the release of money to pay SA Express knowing that the flights subsidy was not contained in programmes to be covered by the ring-fenced fund held by the office of the premier.
Mokgoro has often been accused of having been part of Mahumapelo’s fifth administration and criticised for the wrong decisions taken then. He said prioritisation was with the executive committee and that while his then position as acting director-general had a role to advise, ultimately he had to implement decisions.
The premier was also quizzed on why money was released to fund the reinstatement of flights when the relevant department itself – the department of community safety and transport management – did not have a budget for it.“When there is a report by the department to the executive committee, and there is an acceptance by the committee, whom am I to refuse? Maybe I should have gone back to the executive committee and said its decision was uninformed, but it was not my space,” he said.
Phatudi said this was the only process followed and that no other procurement or tender processes were complied with.Mokgoro said he authorised payment under the impression that it had been presented to the committee and procurement processes had been followed, and said that Phatudi’s evidence to the commission was contrary to what was presented to the committee by then Community Safety and Transport Management MEC Gaoage Molapisi and Mahlakoleng.
He must be arrested.
I thought he said he was just a postman!
