Mashaba accused of conflict of interest over multimillion-rand contract

[TheChamp]

Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba has been accused of pulling strings to get Field Band Foundation (FBF) – a non-government organisation he chaired for over a decade – a three-year contract worth R11 million in a potential conflict-of-interest scandal that has resulted in a forensic investigation.

The contract has since been suspended pending this investigation after the alleged conflict-of-interest led to an outcry in the city council, with Mashaba accused of using his influence to benefit the foundation.

Mashaba’s office confirmed to The Star that FBF received R3.5 million despite the suspension of the contract, but the office told The Citizen they denied any conflict of influence, adding that the FBF did important work which should not be overshadowed by the controversy.

The city has denied any conflict of interest and says it is unfortunate that the NGO's 'important work with vulnerable youth is being politicised'.
