The African Security Congress (ASC) has called for a thorough investigation into Eskom’s security tender process alleging corruption and favouritism.
The organisation alleges that the power utility’s tender bidding process overlooks black-owned companies while favouring white-owned businesses.
It has also called for the suspension of the entity’s Remone Govender, whom they accuse of tampering with the bidding decisions.
ASC president Tebogo Motloung says the Head of Security Tembela Kulu, should also be placed on suspension.
Motloung says, “They must be investigated for at least about four tenders that we think it was improperly interfered by him in the bidding process prior to awarding, and also Tembela Kulu, head of security we think she should also be investigated because she’s Govender’s boss.”
He says, “Every decision that Govender takes it goes past her, she conducts oversight and approval of security tenders.”
