1 hr agoSuspended City of Tshwane Chief Financial Officer, Gareth Mnisi, has firmly denied allegations that he influenced tender bidding processes within the metro, telling the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry that his role in procurement is strictly administrative and governed by law. His testimony comes amid growing scrutiny over how major municipal contracts, particularly in the security sector, were awarded.
Mnisi, who also chairs the Bid Adjudication Committee, argued that chairing a committee does not equate to controlling outcomes. He maintained that the committee consists of senior officials who collectively assess bids in line with procurement regulations, and that he does not direct or manipulate decisions in favour of any bidder.
He further rejected claims of having personal or financial ties to companies linked to controversial security tenders, insisting he has never benefited from or interfered in the awarding of contracts.
However, his evidence also revealed that he occasionally advises on committee composition, a detail that has drawn further attention from commission investigators probing potential procurement irregularities in the city.
The case forms part of a broader inquiry into alleged tender manipulation in Tshwane, where officials are being questioned over possible breaches of procurement law and governance failures.
As proceedings continue, Mnisi’s testimony is expected to remain a focal point in determining whether administrative oversight crossed into improper influence or collusion.
