SIU flags inflated generator prices in R25m Ditsobotla contract probe

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has referred an investigation into a R25 million irregular procurement of generators for the Boikhutsong pump stations in Ditsobotla Local Municipality to the Special Tribunal, after inflated pricing and procurement breaches involving Rensch Trading CC were detected.

In a report tabled before the standing committee on public accounts in parliament last week, the SIU found that the company was appointed without the proper procurement processes being followed.
