The commission heard how Regiments was the main source of income for Makhubo’s company, which was paid R35m between 2006 and January 2020.Regiments' first contract with the city came to an end in 2011, the year in which Makhubo became a councillor and MMC.
In 2015, Makhubo attended mayoral committee and council meetings that approved an award to Regiments for a further five years.Makhubo is said to have resigned from Molelwane in 2011. He was a director in the company with his mother, Matlakala. But somehow his resignation was never effected as he continues to be the sole signatory of Molelwane to date.
“The tender award is not made by council. The mayoral committee and council had no opportunity to influence contract number two [to Regiments in 2015],” said Makhubo. The commission told Makhubo that his position was not correct as he, as MMC for finance, was duty-bound to provide oversight over everything falling under his portfolio, including the contract to Regiments — the biggest the city had.
When is he resigning? Or is he waiting for a criminal charges to be laid?
