The awarding of a personal protective equipment contract to the son of ANC parliamentary chief whip Pemmy Majodina has been referred to the Hawks by acting Public Protector advocate Kholeka Gcaleka. | ntwaagae
The ANC parliamentary chief whip's son has been referred to the Hawks for investigation.
The Secretary to Parliament, Xolile George, was ordered to periodically ensure the reviewing of the regulations as contemplated in the FMPPLA.Dirks claimed that the ANC constituency office awarded a PPE tender to supply thermometers worth R52 500 to the company owned by Majodina's son Thandolwethu Mkhonto we-Sizwe Majodina.
Dirks said the process was gross nepotism and disrespect of public office by Majodina, who allegedly abused constituency funds on car rentals despite receiving monthly car allowances.Gcaleka said the office of the ANC caucus in Parliament received R286.5 million in 2020/2 to assist MPs in conducting active oversight over the executive and its departments and constituency work.
According to Gcaleka, Dirks had argued that Majodina had misused political party allowances allocated by Parliament to benefit her family, and that Parliament had not put adequate control mechanisms in place to prevent the misuse of public funds that Parliament allocated as political party allowances."… there can be no doubt that procurement of PPE by the ANC, which is a political party, does not amount to public affairs as envisaged in these provisions.
