In Conversation With Cillier Brink- DA leader in the Tshwane Metro

Loading player...
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Tshwane is set to present its submission to the Madlanga Commission, following what it describes as a DA-led investigation into tender corruption and fraud within the municipality.

According to the party, the submission will allege the existence of coordinated “cartels” operating within key service delivery sectors, including water tankers, waste management, and security tenders. These sectors are particularly sensitive, as they directly impact basic services and public safety.

The DA claims that individuals linked to these alleged networks include senior members within the Tshwane executive and regional ANC leadership. However, these remain allegations at this stage, and no findings have yet been confirmed by the Commission.

The party also points to recent testimony by Fannie Nkosi at the Commission as a turning point, suggesting that emerging evidence may support claims of deeper, organised corruption networks.

The Madlanga Commission is tasked with investigating serious allegations related to governance, criminal networks, and potential political interference in state institutions.
