State capture: Ex-Denel executive tells of 'flawed' contract awarded to Gupta-linked firm

He said Denel acquired LMT because it was strategically positioned to execute some of the needs of the business“One of the critical and strategic points we were looking at [when acquiring LMT] was that LMT had the capability to design vehicles which in our case wasn’t that matured, that was a plus. LMT could manufacture and assemble vehicles ... We were also looking at future opportunities offshore at that time.

“I saw no reason we should even debate the reason for giving work to a group subsidiary [LMT]. To me it's just common sense, it must be done.“The process was so flawed that it just didn’t even merit any consideration. The outcome should have been rejected on any grounds by anyone.”with DLS regarding the potential company for the contract, they kept referring to VR Laser as a 100% black-owned company.5.1% black woman-owned, but I did not have any evidence.

Big mouth business man corruption is catching up with you 😅😅😅😅Zuma
