Ipotseng disclaims P200,000 claim

When he awarded the tender in 2005, Tlharese was deputy council chairman. The matter has now gone to court as Tlharese is suing the Gantsi District Council and the two individuals whom he awarded the tender. The contract was for drawing the designs of internal sewer construction works in the Gantsi Township.

But in his answering affidavit, the deputy Gantsi Council Secretary, Poloko Mojalemotho said all the normal procedural formalities were flouted by Tlharese in negotiating a tender with Direct Grading or with two individuals.
