Madlanga Commission: Nkosi sought help from TMPD general to secure brother’s Tshwane tender

By Johnathan Paoli

Gauteng Organised Crime Investigations Sergeant Fannie Nkosi has admitted before the Madlanga Commission that he enlisted TMPD Deputy Chief Umashi Dlamini, identified as “General Dlamini” to help his brother’s company secure a City of Tshwane tender, despite extensive evidence that the company failed to meet multiple mandatory requirements.

Being questioned before the Madlanga Commission on Thursday afternoon on how the bid was rehabilitated months after the official deadline for his brother Bheki Nkosi’s company Ngaphesheya, Nkosi admitted to seeking help from Dlamini, but maintained it was an innocent referral.

“I asked General Dlamini to assist my brother’s company… he connected us with a consultant who ensured the company was compliant. I requested assistance for my brother’s company only. El Shaddai was included because the same consultant worked with them. They are also a joint venture partner with my brother’s company at events,” he said.
