East London Man, Dead For Two Years, Wins R1m PPE Tender – Reports

AN East London businessman, Odwa KK Matshaya, who had been dead for two years was the recipient of an Eastern Cape personal protective equipment (PPE) tender contract valued at R992 105.00.

His family were shocked to see his name on the list of 600 companies which were awarded contracts under the R1.2 billion COVID-19 procurement scheme.

Matshaya was the sole member of 2KS Construction and Projects.

Adding to confusion other Eastern Cape businessmen have said that their companies had been awarded tenders but they had not received contracts from the health department.

This casts further doubt of the procurement process which has been mired in corruption and scandals.
