Lindiwe Sisulu has talked up her department’s moves to combat corruption, but the human settlements, water and sanitation minister failed to address the corruption claims against her top adviser, which have continued to gain momentum.
Mdekazi has, through his lawyer, denied any wrongdoing in his dealing with the boards or any of the department’s other entities. Lepelle board chief executive Phineas Legodi and his Amatola counterpart, Vuyo Zitumane, have made statements to the Hawks accusing Mdekazi of putting pressure on them to award sand water extraction contracts to a single company, whose name is known to theLegodi and Zitumane said in affidavits, whichhas seen, that they are being removed from office because of their opposition to awarding the contracts to this company.
Sisulu states in it that she had disbanded the team after becoming aware that some of its members had been unlawfully raising money in her name, claiming that this was part of her ANC election campaign. Powell said claims by both Legodi and Zitumane in their affidavits directly implicated Sisulu in meddling in procurement processes, which made a mockery of her appointment of Motau to investigate the boards.
