eThekwini says Moriel contract remains in place after Sandton threats scandal
eThekwini Municipality says its nearly R20 million North Park Sewer Project contract with Moriel Infrastructure Group remains in place, despite controversy involving the company’s former director.
ActionSA, an eThekwini councillor and mayoral candidate, Zwakele Mncwango, is demanding an investigation into the municipality's dealings with a Zimbabwean businessman accused of threatening to kill a woman. The businessman, Lawrence Chamurwa Mudzinganyama, is linked to a company contracted by the city's Water and Sanitation Unit for a contract worth R16.1 million.
ActionSA wants full disclosure from the city manager regarding the contract awarded to Moriel Infrastructure Group, including all bidders, their scores, tender reports, paid amounts, variations, subcontractors, CIDB grading, and due diligence conducted on the company and its directors. The municipality has condemned gender-based violence and stands in solidarity with survivors, urging anyone with information to report it to the police.
