Macpherson orders CIDB probe into Morial Infrastructure Group
Public Works Minister Dean Macpherson has directed the CIDB to investigate alleged irregularities involving infrastructure company Morial Infrastructure Group, which has been linked to businessman Lawrence Chamurwa Mudzingayima.
Minister Dean Macpherson has instructed the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) to conduct an immediate investigation into allegations surrounding Morial Infrastructure Group. The focus of the probe is on the company's alleged acquisition of multiple grade certifications on the same day, which may not have met the necessary requirements, potentially enabling the company to secure contracts from various government bodies.
The inquiry arises following allegations that Morial Infrastructure Group has ties to Lawrence Chamurwa Mudzingayima, a businessman who has been caught on video making violent threats against women in a Sandton restaurant. The video, which took place inside the restaurant's ladies' bathroom, captured the man making threats such as "I’ll murder you now and walk" and "I’ll put a bullet in all of you".
The businessman has since been distanced from Vlamo restaurant, the establishment maintains it was not affiliated with him. SANRAL, the South African National Roads Agency, is also investigating whether Morial Infrastructure Group was appointed in compliance with the law and if it is adhering to the terms of its contract.
