A major shake-up of political board appointees at Umgeni Water and other water and housing entities appears to be on the cards after last week’s cabinet reshuffle, which saw the human settlements minister, Lindiwe Sisulu, moved to the tourism portfolio.
Shinga’s companies, Raminet Technologies and MPS Strategic Solutions, hold information technology contracts valued at more than R140-million with Umgeni Water, despite being blacklisted for corruption by service provider EOH. Raminet acted as an implementing agent for EOH at Umgeni Water.
In a statement last month, Umgeni Water confirmed the forensic audit into the three tenders that had been subjected to “protracted and costly” court cases. These had resulted in vital projects being delayed and had necessitated a review of the entity’s supply chain management processes.
