ActionSA calls for probe into eThekwini contract awarded to Moriel
Lawrence Mudzinganyama has been arrested and charged with intimidation.
Action SA has requested a probe into a multi-million rand municipal contract awarded to Moriel Infrastructure Group in eThekwini. The company is associated with Zimbabwean businessman Lawrence Chamurwa Mudzinganyama, who has been accused of threatening women in a Sandton restaurant. The R 16 million tender was granted to Moriel in December 2024 to construct the North Park sewer reticulation tie-in and related works, with work beginning in May 2025.
Action SA's Caucus leader, Zwakele Mncwango, has written to the city’s integrity investigation unit, seeking a thorough investigation into the contract's award. Mncwango questions how the contract was awarded in December and why work began five months later. He suggests that a forensic investigation is necessary to uncover if non-South Africans are exploiting the system.
