At the height of the protests that took place earlier this year in Maluti-a-Phofung municipality, in the Free State, over poor service delivery and persistent water shortages in QwaQwa, Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu pledged R200 million in emergency relief.

Plaatjie is heard telling his two subordinates, Mogomotsi Mogodiri and Lekgotla Dichoetlise, that “someone” has approached him, and that said person has 70 water tankers that can be contracted as part of Sisulu’s emergency intervention. Although there is no evidence to suggest that any crime has been committed, a recording suggests that a senior “adviser” in Sisulu’s team was actively involved in highly questionable discussions regarding an emergency tender meant to address the water crisis in QwaQwaAbout 40 trucks would have been required for the emergency water plan and, according to the discussion, Sedibeng Water could then come in with its 10 trucks – taking the number envisioned in the scheme to 41.

In the termination letters sent to the two, copies of which City Press has seen, acting director Mbulelo Tshangana said: “This decision comes as a result of an irreparable breakdown of the trust relationship between you and the department.” This week, Shasha confirmed that she met with Dichoetlise in February to discuss riots in QwaQwa – during which roads were barricaded by residents – and what could be done, as organisers of the shutdown protest were threatening to demonstrate again because Sedibeng Water was not delivering on the minister’s promises.Sedibeng board members fired - again

Is this the same Thami ka Plaatjie former PAC secretary general? somebody please clarify. If so politicians are all cut from the same cloth.

Thami ka Plaatjie has a name and a surname. You also have his pictures. Why did you use Minister Sisulu's picture if it is not for propaganda purposes only? Stop your propaganda!

This is BBBEE in action

Little you say🤭

In 1996 we replaced public works with Tenders and all hell broke loose. As long as we still have tender system we are going nowhere as a country. Public works used to do all gvmnt infrastructure projects with internal staff. ComRats found a way of making money so they dissolved

She didn't know? In the anc all are waiting for their time to eat. If they can steal food parcels, what about money?

LindiweSisuluSA water is essential and people in Motle and around Moretele still have no water. Counsilors are so arrogant, I guess they know there are no consequences for their actions. They are only looking out for themselves and families.

WOW anc creating another opportunity for looting and corruption, emergency relief means emergency orders, no procurement process to be followed, price inflated...this is another way they loot our money(taxpayers).In short they created a need for emergency order(s)

Comrades are always ready for every cent that get released mos... What's new?😂😂

ANC gov is incompetent, they leak leadership and management skills, I don’t care who says what, we are in this mass because of them. They fail to do even a simple tasks, they can’t do the following things probably : organize, strategize, do risk assessment & prioritize

Nkunziyohlob She also has a hand in the pie

That's a shame of greed. ANC saw red in those local elections. I would like to all people of Qwaqwa to do away with ANC on the polls.

Penxenxe This is normal in government in SA: go read the Public Service Commission (PSC) report of 7 Nov 2019 tittle’ investigation into the state of the then dpt agriculture forester &fisheries) central is the DG and looting

Lots of smoke everywhere, surely there’s an inferno somewhere there

“So that we can all share the slice, because it is a lot.”

Handing money over to a black person or group, you can kiss it goodbye. That is the last you will ever see of it. Just look at South Africa as a country. BANKRUPT!

nosipho_mkoko Eish why mara? LindiweSisuluSA did it out of her heart mxa. This corrupt officials must be arrested and must loose all they worked for as officials

a product from the ANCovid Looters, which will never change, NO ethics, always speak with no truth in prove, one attitude I speak you listen, 58m South Africans are not you descendants, family, not related, you are not God nor the prime law maker of SA, No respect to/for citizens

So they more the money

Little did she know or you want to portray her as am innocent victim who is being abused or ambushed for her good personality?

They don't stand a snowballs chance in hell. City Press has learnt that the board of Lepelle Northern Water in Limpopo is also challenging its dissolution. A media briefing has been scheduled for tomorrow in this regard.

Nothing new here when Thami could not loot at PAC it was natural to move to MYANC they all looters

LucidualLady “Little did she know” 🤣🤣🤣

LindiweSisuluSA on a roadshow telling us gvmt officials r corrupt kanti her office is implicated in corruption. She has not fired any implicated advisers that she brought2 DWS_RSA. 4how long will PresidencyZA and CyrilRamaphosa b quiet when Stellarated was penalized 4 less?

TheOtherView3 Thami Ka Platie is a crook now, what happen to PAC teachings , goes to show anyone who joins ANC they no interests in service delivery but to loot and self enrich

South Africa has (had) sufficient funds to provide for all. But while towns are destroyed & people live without running water, govt & their cadres are looting the coffers for themselves. How much more must you suffer until you stop voting for these fcking thieves?

common cause

💔

Yuu haai and the WMC is enemy of Progress fam

Anyone surprised

Are those officials unknown? Why not take them to task? How long will we allow this looting to take place?

Do you trust that those corrupt officials will e arrested ? No fnt be a fool the entire justicexsystemnis corrupted nonone will e arrested period.

And she mustn't blame for such, it not her fault that she had greedy people on that team, she only wanted to help, little did she know.

Minister you doing well in your department. Clean your house you have our support at all times.

Pat75583624 It happens everywhere with most state tenders!State Officials,their proxy companies &interested politicians operate like that!Many tenders have a list of beneficiaries by the time they are advertised!Very few tenders are advertised without preferred bidders!

Min. LindiweSisuluSA working hard to clean up the dept and rebuild its ailing reputation. All this in an effort to increase efficiency and restore dignity back to our people. We stan such decisive leadership! ✊🏾

Kodwa until when will we allow people to steal our service delivery funds, and not send a single person to jail ?... NO MAAANN...nxa

LindiweSisuluSA Mamzo kante what is happening hleng? Don't you guys get tired of such?

There are many individuals who are corrupt in that department. The on going investigations will expose them one by one.

I’ve made up my mind that this is what I will focus on. The previous ministers had problems with corruption in the department and it has a long history of maladministration. We will find a way to root it out and once and for all get to the bottom of this - LindiweSisuluSA

Confiscate everything they have

This minister can lie yohhh.... Then you hear the blind loyal extremists screaming that she's targeted because she's a black woman or she's being targeted because she's for RET... SHE'S SO CORRUPT

Intombi emhlophe that’s what soldiers used to call her when she was a Minister of Defense Force.

Of course she knew,that's the whole point

My hometown has no water!! MYANC has looted and killed our beloved Qwa Qwa of Ntate the Dr TK. I want my people to out vote ANC! People live in darkness, no water, no adequate roads, health care have collapsed all because of these looters.

This is so tiring ... like, it's a surprise never to have been expected. Comrades EAT, why are we being made fools 😔

Well, I expected no less.

At every level of the private and public sector is corruption. We need the justice system to set an example urgently.

Arrest them taking back our country
