Transnet asks suppliers to provide details of any third-party ‘commissions’

Transnet CEO Siyabonga Gama says that the freight logistics group is investigating every allegation of possible corruption in relation to the State-owned group’s procurement programmes, revealing that the scope of its inquiries extends beyond the R50-billion locomotive contract, which is the subject of a board-led investigation by Werksmans Attorneys. Speaking on the sidelines of the recent Transnet Indaba, a stakeholder strategy consultation event, Gama stressed that most of the allegations related to Transnet suppliers and their relationships with individuals and companies not directly contracted to supply Transnet.
