ConCourt decision: End of the line for Prasa’s tall trains supplier By Pieter-Louis Myburgh PLMyburgh
Swifambo, which bagged the contract in 2013, will therefore have no further legal recourse to salvage a deal that was found to have been corrupt in earlier court rulings.
The SCA agreed that “the tender was procured through corruption” and that Prasa’s specifications for the new locomotives were “tailor-made for the benefit of Vossloh, and thus Swifambo”. It also affirmed the high court’s decision that Swifambo had been part of a “fronting practice”. “As you may be aware, Swifambo is under liquidation. I am no longer involved in its affairs, forward your queries to the liquidators,” said Mashaba.
