Letlhogonolo Mogopodi has every reason not to be gullible to mining management’s pledge to empower local blackowned businesses. An entrepreneur and leader in the platinum-rich North West village of Luka, Mogopodi has been short-changed several times for contracts at the Impala Platinum Holdings Limited mining operations – hosted in the in the royal Bafokeng-owned community land.
According to documents seen by The Citizen, Mogopodi’s MTN Construction – in a joint venture partnership with whiteowned Biziwe – was this year awarded a contract to supply the mine with ventilation seals, but to the exclusion of MTN Construction. According to Mogopodi, it all began with a request for information advertisement, published by the Royal Bafokeng Enterprise Development on 29 September 2018 “for A641 manufacture, supply and installation of underground ventilation seals”.
“I told management we didn’t tender separately but as a JV, with Andre attesting he tendered in partnership with MTN Construction.”
