Controversial tender follows former KwaZulu-Natal Health MEC Sibongiseni Dlomo, who is now Parliament’s health committee, as aggrieved company goes to court
The contract is for the handling and disposal of all forms of medical waste in the province from more than 300 sites, including clinics, hospitals, old-age homes, emergency services and ports of entry. He said the manner in which Buhle was appointed was done in “a deliberate effort to exclude Compass” and that the department went against its own supply chain management policy, which would require no less than three quotes on a contract the size and scale as this one.
Du Randt said the three-year contract Buhle had with the Mpumalanga health authority expired in November 2018 and it, too, was running on a month-to-month basis. In April last year, Compass unsuccessfully attempted to interdict the department from terminating its contract in favour of Buhle. Willie Mkasi, chief director of legal services for KwaZulu-Natal’s health department, said a normal tender process was not followed as it would have taken an “inordinate amount of time”.
It has since come to light the Mpumalanga Health Department has made attempts to regularise Buhle’s month-to-month contract.

Absa accused of not supporting local businesses'Recommendations are always reviewed by established governance structures to further interrogate risks and challenges, alignment with business strategy and prevailing operational conditions before a final award decision is made.' This isn't new. Especially black owned small business. They don't give a fuck. We grew up knowing that and it ain't gonna change. This is what I don't understand. Do people think ABSA looks at the surname and go 'nope, not white enough' and move on?
