GTM trounced
Tender awards rejected and set aside by High Court The Greater Tzaneen Municipality has been lambasted by the High Court for serious irregularities in the awarding of two tenders for the upgrading of two gravel roads to tar. The Municipality has also been rapped over the knuckles by the Judge for a string of wrongdoings: possible contemptuous conduct, failing
to comply with the Constitution, for not being transparent in conducting their business, being unfair, failing to implement risk management, failing to act cost-effectively and not running a fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and cost-effective procurement process etcetera. The High Court has now set aside the tenders
and the GTM has to commence afresh with the tender process (within21 days). Legal costs resulting from the mismanaged tenders will yet again rob Tzaneen’s ratepayers of many hundreds of thousands of rands and there is also a possibility of huge claims against the GTM. • Read our full report on page 7
