ANC-UITLATINGS IS DEURSIGTIGE POGING OM AANDAG AF TE LEI VAN WERKLIKE KORRUPSIEKRISIS IN TSHWANE

Die jongste uitlatings van die ANC se Groter Tshwane-streek rakende korrupsie in die Tshwane-metropolisie (TMPD) onder die vorige administrasie waarvan die VF Plus deel was, is niks anders nie as ʼn deursigtige poging om die aandag van die werklike korrupsiekrisis in die Tshwane-metro af te lei.

Terwyl die Madlanga-kommissie tans getuienis aanhoor oor die manipulering van tenders, poog die ANC-streeksekretaris, George Matjila, om die fokus na die vorige administrasie te verskuif.

Die VF Plus verwelkom die Madlanga-kommissie se ondersoek na onreëlmatige sekuriteitstenders ter waarde van sowat R2,9 miljard.

Dit sluit in die omstrede rol van Triotic Protection Services, ’n maatskappy wat voorheen aan die huidige onderburgemeester, Eugene Modise, gekoppel is. Volgens getuienis het bod-evalueringskomitees hierdie spesifieke tender twee keer vir kansellasie aanbeveel weens growwe onreëlmatighede, dog het die proses voortgegaan.

Die VF Plus daag die ANC-leierskap uit om die volgende feite te beantwoord:

1. Integriteit en sekuriteitsklarings binne die TMPD:

Tydens die vorige administrasie is beamptes in die keuringseenheid verwyder omdat hulle hul Staatsveiligheidsagentskap (SSA)-klarings gedruip het. Daar was ernstige bewerings dat dié beamptes kollegas afgepers het om strafregtelike rekords te verberg.

Hierdie optrede was gegrond op gedokumenteerde risiko's en is deur die destydse TMPD-leierskap gesteun. Indien die ANC beweer hierdie verwyderings was onwettig, daag die VF Plus mnr. Matjila uit om geldige SSA-klaringsertifikate vir daardie spesifieke persone voor te lê.

2. Die Triotic-tender van R2,9 miljard:

Getuienis voor die kommissie het Triotic Protection Services as ’n sleutelbegunstigde van die betwiste tender uitgewys. Forensiese ondersoeke dui daarop dat die onderburgemeester, Eugene Modise, moontlik nie sy belange in die maatskappy volledig of betyds verklaar of afgestaan het nie. Die VF Plus eis ’n volledige ouditspoor van enige beweerde verkoop van sy aandele, asook deursigtigheid oor waarom dié maatskappy steeds met munisipale kontrakte bevoordeel word.

3. Die "watertenker-mafia" en infrastruktuur-verval:

Onder die huidige ActionSA/ANC-geleide koalisie het uitgawes aan private watertenkwaens tot honderde miljoene rande opgeskiet, terwyl die metro se eie infrastruktuur agteruitgaan. Getuienis koppel mnr. Matjila aan navrae oor beweerde betalings aan tenkermaatskappye met gebrekkige dokumentasie. Die publiek het die reg om te weet watter rol politieke figure speel in die doelbewuste afhanklikheid van privaat watertenkwaens ten koste van permanente herstelwerk aan die waternetwerk.

Die VF Plus beklemtoon dat sy burgemeesterskomiteelid vir gemeenskapsveiligheid ’n bewese rekord het van aktiewe optrede teen korrupsie. Sy termyn is gekenmerk deur die ontslag van beamptes wat by afpersing betrokke was en die aandrang op forensiese verslae om bedrog binne die TMPD bloot te lê.

Die Madlanga-kommissie is nie ’n politieke instrument vir "viktimisering" nie, maar ’n noodsaaklike proses om korrupsie tot op die been oop te vlek.

Die VF Plus eis dat die kommissie sy werk sonder politieke inmenging voltooi.

Die party nooi die ANC-leierskap uit om sy samewerking te gee deur alle betrokke dokumente, klaringsertifikate en transaksie-rekords aan die kommissie en die publiek beskikbaar te stel.

Inwoners van Tshwane verdien ’n professionele metropolisiemag en ’n skoon administrasie wat nie gekompromitteerde netwerke beskerm nie. - Rdl Grandi Theunissen

ANC’S REMARKS JUST A TRANSPARENT ATTEMPT TO DIVERT ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ACTUAL CORRUPTION CRISIS IN TSHWANE

The recent remarks by the ANC’s Greater Tshwane Region regarding corruption occurring in the Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD) under the previous administration, of which the Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) was part, are nothing more than a transparent attempt to divert attention away from the actual corruption crisis in the Tshwane Metro.

While the Madlanga Commission is currently hearing evidence of tender manipulation, the ANC’s Regional Secretary, George Matjila, is attempting to shift the focus to the previous administration.

The Freedom Front Plus welcomes the Madlanga Commission’s investigation into irregular security tenders amounting to approximately R2,9 billion.

This includes the controversial role of Triotic Protection Services, a company previously linked to the current Deputy Mayor, Eugene Modise. According to the evidence, bid evaluation committees recommended the cancellation of this specific tender on two occasions due to serious irregularities, yet the process continued.

The Freedom Front Plus challenges the ANC leadership to respond to the following facts:

1. Integrity and security clearances within the TMPD:
During the previous administration, officials in the vetting unit were removed because they had failed their State Security Agency (SSA) clearances. At the time, there were serious allegations that these officials had blackmailed colleagues to conceal criminal records.

The step to remove them was based on documented risks and was supported by the then TMPD leadership. If the ANC claims these removals were unlawful, the Freedom Front Plus challenges Mr Matjila to produce valid SSA clearance certificates for the specific individuals in question.

2. The R2,9 billion Triotic tender:
Evidence presented to the Commission identifies Triotic Protection Services as a key beneficiary of the disputed tender. Forensic investigations revealed that the Deputy Mayor, Eugene Modise, may not have fully or timeously declared or divested his interests in the company. The Freedom Front Plus demands a comprehensive audit trail of any alleged sale of his shares, as well as transparent motivation for why this company continues to benefit from municipal contracts.

3. The “water tanker mafia” and infrastructure decay:
Under the current ActionSA/ANC-led coalition, expenditure on privately owned water tankers has skyrocketed to hundreds of millions of rand, while the Metro’s own infrastructure is left to deteriorate. Evidence links Mr Matjila to enquiries about alleged payments to tanker companies lacking sufficient documentation. The public has the right to know what role political figures play in deliberately keeping the Metro dependent on private water tankers at the expense of permanent repairs to the water network.
The Freedom Front Plus wishes to point out that its Mayoral Committee Member for Community Safety has a proven record of cracking down on corruption. His tenure has been characterised by the dismissal of officials involved in extortion and an insistence on forensic reports to expose fraud within the TMPD.

The Madlanga Commission is not a political tool for “victimisation”, but a process necessary to lay bare corruption.

The Freedom Front Plus demands that the Commission be allowed to complete its work without political interference.

The party invites the ANC leadership to cooperate by disclosing all relevant documents, clearance certificates and transaction records to the Commission and the public.

Tshwane residents deserve a professional metro police force and a clean administration that does not protect compromised networks.

TSHWANE-METRO SE EIS TEEN HISTORIESE HARLEQUIN-SPORTKLUB IS ONREALISTIES EN ABSURD

Die Tshwane-metro se eis dat die historiese Harlequins-sportklub in Groenkloof, wat al vir 122 jaar as sportklub vir die gemeenskap bedryf word, binne enkele weke na sy “oorspronklike” toestand as plaas herstel moet word, is onrealisties en absurd.

Die klub, wat in 1902 gestig is, is ‘n belangrike gemeenskapsinstansie, het honderde lede en fasiliteite soos twee rugbyvelde, ’n krieketveld, rolbalbane, ’n muurbalbaan, klubkamers, pawiljoene en ’n restaurant.

In 2021 het die klub reeds ’n formele aansoek ingedien om die grond van landbou- na sport- en ontspanningsgebruik te hersoneer. Vyf jaar later het die metro steeds nie hierdie aansoek afgehandel nie.

Op 17 Maart 2026 het die metro egter kennis gegee dat die klub alle advertensieborde binne sewe dae moet verwyder en binne 28 dae alle strukture en verbeterings moet sloop sodat die terrein weer soos ’n plaas lyk.

Dit is onsinnig dat die metro nou dreig om netjiese sportfasiliteite wat oor meer as ’n eeu ontwikkel is, te vernietig, terwyl die metro self vyf jaar lank met administratiewe rompslomp en onbevoegdheid die hersoneringsaansoek vertraag het.

Hierdie aanval op die Harlequin-sportklub is afkomstig uit die portefeulje van die voormalige ActionSA-burgemeesterskomiteelid vir korporatiewe- en gedeelde dienste, Kholofelo Morodi, wat op 27 Maart 2026 afgedank is. Morodi is op rekord met uitlatings dat gevestigde sportklubs soos Harlequin “lank genoeg bevoordeel is.”

Terwyl die Tshwane-metro sukkel om sy eie bates en infrastruktuur in stand te hou, probeer hy nou ’n suksesvolle historiese landmerk en voorbeeld van private inisiatief en gemeenskapsamewerking vernietig.

Die VF Plus eis:

• Die onmiddellike intrekking van die kennisgewing en slopingseis van 17 Maart 2026, asook die staking van alle uitsetting- en slooppogings.
• Dat die metro die klub se soneringsaansoek van 2021 onverwyld as ’n dringende saak finaliseer.
• Dat die metro erken dat gevestigde sportklubs soos Harlequin waardevolle vennote in gemeenskapsdienslewering is en nie as vyande behandel mag word nie.

Die VF Plus sal onwrikbaar by die Harlequin-sportklub en sy lede staan om hierdie historiese bate vir die nageslag en sportliefhebbers van alle gemeenskappe te beskerm. - Rdl. Grandi Theunissen

TSHWANE METRO’S DEMAND REGARDING HISTORIC HARLEQUIN SPORTS CLUB IS UNREALISTIC AND ABSURD

The Tshwane Metro’s demand that the historic Harlequin Sports Club in Groenkloof, which has operated as a community sports club for 122 years, must be restored to its “original” state as a farm within a few weeks, is unrealistic and absurd.

The Club, which was founded in 1902, is an important community institution with hundreds of members and facilities such as two rugby fields, a cricket field, bowling greens, a squash court, clubhouse, pavilions and a restaurant.

The Club submitted a formal application to rezone the land from agricultural to sports and recreational use in 2021 already. Five years have gone by and the Metro has still not finalised this application.

On 17 March 2026, however, the Metro issued a notice instructing the Club to remove all advertising boards within seven days and demolish all structures and improvements within 28 days to turn the entire site back into a farm.

It makes no sense that the Metro is threatening to destroy proper sports facilities that have been developed over more than a century, while the Metro itself is to blame for dragging out the rezoning process over five years through administrative red tape and incompetence.

This blatant attack on the Harlequin Sports Club emanates from the portfolio of the former ActionSA Mayoral Committee Member for Corporate and Shared Services, Kholofelo Morodi, who was dismissed on 27 March 2026. Morodi has stated on record that established sports clubs such as Harlequin have been “advantaged for long enough”.

While the Tshwane Metro struggles to maintain its own assets and infrastructure, it is now trying to destroy a successful historic landmark and an example of private initiative and community cooperation.

The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) demands:

• The immediate withdrawal of the notice and demolition demand of 17 March 2026, as well as ceasing all eviction and demolition attempts.
• That the Metro finalise the Club’s 2021 rezoning application as a matter of urgency.
• That the Metro acknowledge that established sports clubs, such as Harlequin, are valuable partners in community service delivery and should not be treated with hostility.

The Freedom Front Plus will stand its ground with the Harlequin Sports Club and its members to safeguard this historic asset for future generations and sports enthusiasts from all communities. - Cllr. Grandi Theunissen

GETUIENIS VOOR MADLANGA DUI OP MOONTLIKE ONGERYMDHEDE MET TSHWANE-TENDER

Die getuienis voor die Madlanga-kommissie rakende bewerings van politieke inmenging in ʼn sekuriteitstender in die Tshwane-metro is uiters kommerwekkend en kon voorkom gewees het.

Tydens die VF Plus se beheer van die gemeenskapsveiligheidsportefeulje, is ’n tegnologie-gedrewe sekuriteitsmodel gevolg wat minder afhanklik was van statiese wagte en meer gefokus het op koste-effektiewe oplossings soos moderne tegnologie.

Hierdie benadering het effektiewe sekuriteit teen laer koste vir belastingbetalers verseker.

Die huidige administrasie het ’n ander verkrygingspad gevolg, wat nou in die getuienis ter sprake kom.

Getuienis van sersant Fannie Nkosi van die polisie het Whatsapp-boodskappe en ander materiaal blootgelê wat verband hou met pogings om die toekenning van ’n multimiljoen rand-sekuriteitstender vir die Tshwane-metropolisie (TMPD) te beïnvloed.

Dit sluit lyste van voorkeurmaatskappye in, oënskynlik afkomstig van die EFF, asook koördinering met die hoof finansiële beampte van die metro, Gareth Mnisi.

Daar was ook verwysings na verteenwoordigers van ActionSA en die EFF in Nkosi se getuienis en dat die TMPD se adjunkhoof, Umashi Dlamini, na bewering ’n rol gespeel het in die verspreiding van hierdie lyste.

Daar bestaan tans ook teenstrydighede in die hantering van ’n verslag oor die metro se hoof finansiële beampte in die metroraad waar ActionSA en die EFF huiwer om ʼn verslag oor hom ter tafel te lê en druk op die ANC plaas om dit te doen.

Hierdie situasie bring ’n kernvraag na vore: Gaan dit werklik oor aanspreeklikheid en integriteit, of weerspieël dit ’n politieke magstryd tussen partye om beheer oor openbare fondse?

Die VF Plus het ’n rekord van deursigtige en gedissiplineerde fiskale bestuur in die gemeenskapsveiligheidsportefeulje, sonder die skep van krisisse of manipulering van verslae vir eie belang.

Die VF Plus het ’n dringende mosie by die speaker van die Tshwane-metro, Mncedi Ndzwanana, ingedien waarin versoek word dat die reëls- en etiekkomitee ’n ondersoek instel na die hoof finansiële beampte, sowel as na bewerings van politieke inmenging in die tenderproses

Die inwoners van Tshwane verdien ’n administrasie wat integriteit handhaaf en openbare fondse verantwoordelik bestuur.

Verdere ondersoeke alleen los nie die onderliggende probleme op nie.

Die oplossing lê in ’n regeringsverandering waar die VF Plus betekenisvolle insae sal hê om deursigtigheid, aanspreeklikheid en dienslewering te herstel.- Rdl. Grandi Theunissen

EVIDENCE BEFORE MADLANGA POINTS TO POSSIBLE IRREGULARITIES IN TSHWANE TENDER

The evidence presented before the Madlanga Commission regarding allegations of political interference in a security tender in the Tshwane Metro is extremely concerning and details an issue that could have been avoided.

While the Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) was at the steer of the Community Safety portfolio, a technology-driven security model was followed which relied less on static guards and focused more on cost-effective solutions such as modern technology.

This approach ensured effective security at lower cost to taxpayers.

The current administration followed a different procurement path, which is now under scrutiny as part of the evidence.

Testimony by Sergeant Fannie Nkosi of the police led to the uncovering of WhatsApp messages and other material relating to attempts to influence the awarding of a multimillion-rand security tender for the Tshwane Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD).

The evidence includes lists of preferred companies, presumably provided by the EFF, as well as engagement with the Metro’s Chief Financial Officer, Gareth Mnisi.

Nkosi’s testimony also mentions representatives of ActionSA and the EFF, and that the TMPD’s deputy head, Umashi Dlamini, allegedly played a part in distributing these lists.

At present, there are contradictions in the Metro Council’s handling of a report on the Metro’s Chief Financial Officer, as ActionSA and the EFF seem hesitant to table the report, but are simultaneously pressuring the ANC to do it.

This situation raises a burning question: Is it really about accountability and integrity, or does it reflect a political power struggle between parties for control over public funds?

The Freedom Front Plus has a proven record of transparent and disciplined fiscal management in the Community Safety portfolio, without ever creating crises or manipulating reports for selfish gain.

The Freedom Front Plus submitted an urgent motion to the Tshwane Metro Speaker, Mncedi Ndzwanana, requesting that the Rules and Ethics Committee investigate the Chief Financial Officer as well as possible political interference in the tender process.

Tshwane residents deserve an administration that maintains integrity and manages public funds responsibly.

On their own, further investigations will not solve the underlying problems, though.

The solution lies in a change of government, affording the Freedom Front Plus sufficient influence to help restore transparency, accountability and service delivery. - Cllr. Grandi Theunissen.
