The Madlanga Commission has heard direct allegations that the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and ActionSA were involved in efforts to influence a multi-million-rand security tender in the City of Tshwane.
Testifying before the commission on Wednesday, Nkosi told the commission that TMPD deputy chief Umashi Dlamini compiled a list of seven preferred companies, which he allegedly received from the EFF.
“He compiled a list, some were from the EFF,” he said.
The list was then passed to Nkosi, who forwarded it to Tshwane’s chief financial officer, Gareth Mnisi.
Nkosi also admitted to submitting two additional companies for consideration, including one owned by his brother.
According to Nkosi’s testimony, Mnisi responded by saying he had been engaging with both the EFF and ActionSA about the tender.
The allegations suggest potential political interference in the procurement process, though no findings have yet been made by the commission.
Nkosi resumed his testimony at the commission on Thursday.
