Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Tshwane\u2019s suspended Chief Financial Officer Gareth Mnisi will finally testify before the Madlanga Commission of inquiry on Friday.<\/p>\n

Mnisi has been implicated in alleged tender rigging and corruption at the Tshwane municipality and its metro police department.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the municipality placed Mnisi on precautionary suspension for three months as a result of the allegations.<\/p>\n

When controversial police officer Fannie Nkosi appeared at the Madlanga Commission, WhatsApp chats between him and Mnisi were a matter of interest.<\/p>\n

From those chats, it shows Mnisi helped Nkosi’s brother score a security tender from the municipality.<\/p>\n

It also showed the two shared lists of companies they wanted the tenders to be awarded to.<\/p>\n

Mnisi also shared confidential documents with Nkosi despite the fact that he wasn’t employed at the municipality.<\/p>\n

In addition to being the CFO, Mnisi was also chairperson of the city\u2019s bid adjudication committee, which plays a critical role in deciding which companies are awarded tenders at the municipality.<\/p>\n
