Set aside political crony’s R21bn gas tender: Kevin Mileham

- A controversial gas tender awarded to a man who was named 176 times in the Mpati Commission report into malfeasance at the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) should be terminated with immediate effect. That is the call from Kevin Mileham, the Democratic Alliance's (DA’s) Shadow Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy following earlier warnings by his party that Equator Holdings “run, owned, and managed” by Lawrence Mulaudzi does not have the money and technical skills to fulfil the tender requirement of rebuilding PetroSA’s critical gas infrastructure - and is now “shopping around” for potential funders and technical partners for the project. “PetroSA is a failing State-owned entity. And you don't fix that by giving tenders to cronies,” Mileham says. Meanwhile Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe “is very, very quiet about this whole issue” - and is “more interested in campaigning right now than in dealing with the issues in the entities that are under his control”.

Please stop this tender to this man. Mantashe is disgusting. ANC must go.
Get the tender officials into court for a hearing. They need to answer for their decision to award this tender. Tax payers money !
Thank you DA for calling this out. I dont see any other political parties calling for this tender award to be investigated. This is tax payers money at stake. Hello, is anyone else concerned???
The other parties are probably having to concentrate all their attention and resources on the elections, where the DA apparently have the abilities to walk and chew at the same time! Well done DA for staying awake and focused!!
So well said, Wendy.
Thank you Kevin and Chris and DA for calling this out. This is the reason why I support the DA they uncover and call out any corruption. Well done DA as always. May God bless you. This is cadered employment again. As long as anc are in, this will continue. May God rid this country of all evil in His name 🙏
This is Gwede Mantashe's nest egg, just in case the ANC loose the election.
Yes Karpowerships was pension plan 1 so is this no2
More hungry and jobless.We have lost millions of jobs to this corruption.
And in FALSE LOCKDOWN THAT COMPANIES FIRED STAFF OVER 55 YEARS AND BLAMED THE TIME FRAME OF LOCKDOWN JUST BECAUSE CYRIL AND THE ZWELI MKHIZE. They got Phala Phala money which i believe is covid-19 bribe money from the west and the nation left dead (murdered in hospitals)
The thieving continues unabated, in my opinion !!!!
Gwede hasn’t seen his Karpowership money so looking for his pension from another tender
21billion tender for one company, one man? Wow! ANC goverment is building inequality.
Mantashe pushed to keep petro SA alive for this nonsense
God I am so sick of this skullduggery 🤬🤬🤮🤮
They give tenders to cronies/comrades to get the huge kickbacks.
Why has this Minister been cleared by the ANC's integrity committee? He is no 3 in the Zondo commissions implicated list (as per media reports). The governing party is acused no 1 and can't correct themselves imo.
Good good DA
We need to keep our focus on the Orange Basin on our West Coast regarding this huge oil discovery and subsequint potential thereof. There is suddenly a lot of movement in the oil segment especially from cabinet level. When will this corruption stop!
We're looking more like Putin's Ruzzia day by day
The entire process appears flawed.
Politicians must wake up the resources dont belong to government ìts there for all the people who live in the country and it to be shared equally amongst the people of the land.
Not the politicians....the stupid KFC voters
This is the issue with the DA. 'It's just not cricket' isn't working in a gangster / criminal environment. This 'gentleman'.... come on , after 30 years, a wake up is needed here. Offshore resources are just the next honey pot for the ANC.
Soekor,did the original mosgas,american expertise and euro technilogy,now its a bunch of contract shufflers,they do the deal that gives them kickback,disgracegul many have made millions doing nothing,passing paper.
So whats new that caders and the clowns in Parliament has less than 30 days to steal then there time is over and will be doing time in jail....
Mr Mantashe we love SouthAfrican why are you creedy selling our country why are you corrupt you are the one for this why
Never ends
My they must follow Joemat Peterson example to get out of this corruption as she did not standing trial for her corrultion .
Unbelievable? Not anymore 🤔😴🤣
All ZA tender are full of crockery 😢
How is that so many other questionable tenders were awarded to corrupt cadres that systematically destroyed Eskom and other SOEs and not flagged by the DA.
If this kind of due diligence were applied it could have prevented other dubious tenders from being allocated. 🤔
The DA has always been aware of corruption have you not heard John Steenhuisen in Parliament
Same shit different day
Cadre galore...
Surely the law should react to this blatantly corrupt awarding of this tender to an individual who has absolutely no ability to execute the tender in a transparent honest manner. Those who awarded this tender must be investigated and face the full might of the law.
Lets get an end to this corrupt anc government come end of May 2024 if you are serious about change and have no regrets for the future
Maak of jy mal is en steel sommer alles😂😂
Not at all surprised.Do you remember a DJ getting a roadbuilding contract.Musical miles at best.The last gasp stealing, cause they not sure whether they will be in power after 29/05
Mmmmmmm yes
South Africa, a beautiful country where you don't even need credentials to win a tender,you can always hire Tech staff and borrow money afterwards.
cANCer
What Renewal?
Kap hom flo!
Vote DA save South Africa 👍
Why does Chris sound like she's in the toilet?
Scarlet Sky games.
The same will happen when DA is incharge
Please take your illiterate ignorant philosophy of Apparheid and go live in Johannesburg you have no idea I challenge you to show and prove to me any DA corruption
Africans were excluded in the economy during Apartheid, why do expect them to have a track record? Of course he does not have a track record. So what?
What u taking.
30 years to gain experience?
So you're happy that someone who isn't qualified nor certified nor reliable rakes in Billions of tax payers money doing a dodgy job???? Hello???
A track record is one of the criteria of this tender.
stop trolling
Aikona! The brother just wants a hamburger & coke! Jan Van Riebeeck owes him!
