Premier Helen Zille has issued an instruction for the Western Cape Government to examine existing and past contracts with BOSASA.
Premier Zille said: “In light of what is emerging in the Zondo Commission of Inquiry, we are proactively examining contractual relationships with BOSASA. We are a clean government with tight controls and robust anti-corruption measures. We are taking this proactive step to instil public confidence in our commitment to transparency and accountability. I believe all governments, and especially the national government, should be undertaking the same process.”
Further details will be announced in due course.
“I believe this to be a necessary pro-active step in ensuring that any business conducted with BOSASA and/or its affiliated companies adhered to all stringent control measures; that value was derived for deliverables or services rendered; and to proactively confirm the Western Cape Government’s active anti-corruption stance,” said Zille.
