ANC Minister says white men want to keep qualified black people out of business

Qualified people like herself no doubt.

These are among the damning findings by an independent forensic audit report into the irregular awarding of a contract to a consortium led by ICT Works, a women-owned BEE company.

The joint venture comprised, among others, the Simunye Consortium, which was led by SAP South Africa.

Chief operations officer Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, corporate services executive Diamond Mushwana, executive for supply chain management Thenjiwe Mjoli and general manager for human capital management Matsiliso Gumbi were placed on precautionary suspension in July last year.

Another executive, Nagalin Tuganadar, who was responsible for government solutions and standards at Sita, was suspended in October.

But no specific reasons were given for their suspensions. Now a PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) audit report into the awarding of the tender has opened the lid on the suspensions.

PwC found that “a single-source appointment of the ICT Works and Simunye Consortium was recommended” on December 15, 2011.

However, no reasons were furnished for deviating from the tender process.

The tender, which was part of the government’s R4 billion Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS), was for the maintenance and support of Sita’s software and skills transfer.

Sita had initially awarded a separate but related contract worth R700m to the ICT Works and Simunye Consortium in 2007.

In early 2022, Ntshavheni was named in the second volume of the report of the Zondo Commission, which investigated alleged state capture in South Africa over the preceding decade. Ntshavheni was mentioned in connection with her term on the Denel board, and particularly her participation in the board's decision to suspend and fire three Denel executives in 2015. The commission concluded that the executives' dismissal was intended to "remove an obstruction" to the Gupta family in their conspiracy to capture Denel, and it also concluded that Denel board members had probably misconducted themselves.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khumbudzo_Ntshavheni#cite_note-26"><span><span>[</span>26<span>]</span></span></a> Commission chairperson Raymond Zondorecommended that the board members, including Ntshavheni, should be investigated further by law enforcement, "with a view to possible prosecutions".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khumbudzo_Ntshavheni#cite_note-27"><span><span>[</span>27<span>]</span></span></a>

the anc is running the clowntree and how well is that and all their municipalities going.

You want to throw stones, I hope you can catch.
 
If people want jobs, then change the labour law so that we can fire useless, lazy people and hire the so-called hard workers out there.
