'Due process was followed': Row over City of Ekurhuleni's R2 million bill | The Citizen

The more than R2 million bill is only about half of the total outstanding amount of R5,252,280.

A R2,628,900 invoice from an IT consulting firm to the City of Ekurhuleni for a month’s work has revealed that two, possibly three, of the IT firm’s employees are related to senior managers in the municipality. On 28 February, the IT company billed Ekurhuleni for hundreds of hours – for 33 junior support analysts, two junior developers and one senior developer. The bill of R2,623,380 was due on 2 February this year. ALSO READ: City of Ekurhuleni hits back at Eskom’s R544m debt...

An unsigned letter by “concerned Democratic Alliance members about our leadership” in the City of Ekurhuleni alleged that the children of city manager Imogen Mashazi and Ekurhuleni chief information officer Moloko Monyepao were working for the IT firm. Mbengashe said the municipality was paying the company “what is due to them” based on the services that they were contracted for.

In July 2018, an audit by Makanaka Risk and Advisory Services reportedly alleged the municipality lost R22.2 million to DataOpt in a copier project which was supposed to have saved it money.
