Masisi relatives' tender trial begins

At the High Court tomorrow, the President’s nephew Olebile Pilane will take the stand to give oral evidence in a case in which he has dragged his aunt and Masisi's sister, Boitumelo Mmutle-Phadi and their business associates to court over a P550 million water tender.

Pilane, in the case, accuses his aunt and their business associates of ousting him from a company he formed and a tender he bid for. The company, which the relatives own, won a joint bid with Tianyuan Construction (Tianyuan) for the construction of the Goodhope Sub-District Water Supply Scheme 2.2 contract for P549,699,654.70.
