Gov’t accused of interfering in disputed P300m Mogo road tender :: Mmegi Online

Noting the delay in the Mogoditshane Development Infrastructure project, the Ministry of Local Government and Traditional Affairs has requested the Mogoditshane/ Thamaga District Council to explore alternative procurement models for the Mogoditshane internal roads project. But, the move has raised eyebrows as to what could be the intention, as there is an ongoing case before the courts.

Following a dispute launched by ZTK Joint Venture (JV) consisting of Zak Construction (Pty) Ltd and Tong-Ke (Pty) Ltd, appealing their disqualification from the tender for having cancelled on the tender document, the Public Procurement Tribunal ordered that both the technical and financial evaluation of the tender be re-evaluated by another procuring entity.

Just when ZTK thought they would have another chance at the tender, the Mogoditshane Thamaga District Council (MTDC) and the initial bid winners, Evolution Engineers/ Mason Group JV, appealed to the High Court. The tender was awarded for around P300 million.
