[WATCH] Businessman Bonelela Ngubengcuka ka Mgudlwa says he'll appeal the Special Tribunal's findings against him and a business partner that declared a R14-million PPE contract with the Mpumalanga Health Department unlawful and invalid. #Newzroom405
While millions of South Africans suffered, lost jobs, and died during the COVID-19 pandemic, billions in public funds were looted through shady PPE and emergency tenders. @nomvulamoko_ ’s family circle was right at the centre of it. Just last week, the Special Tribunal delivered a massive blow: On 25 March 2026, Judge David Makhoba ruled that two COVID-19 contracts awarded by the Mpumalanga Department of Health to Tark Group Pty Ltd (formerly Tuwo Rhodesia) — co-owned by Nomvula’s daughter Katleho Mokonyane (34) and her business partner Bonelela “Buzza” Mgudlwa (43) — were unlawful, constitutionally invalid, and void from the very start. The contracts were for medical jumpsuits (R13.297 million) and 60,000 surgical masks (R1.08 million) — total over R14.3 million paid by the state. The @RSASIU proved there was NO competitive bidding, the company bypassed proper bid committees, wasn’t even properly on the supplier database, lacked SAHPRA accreditation at the time, and failed to disclose serious conflicts of interest (including Katleho’s direct family link to senior @MYANC leader Nomvula Mokonyane). The Tribunal pierced the corporate veil, found “fraudulent and dishonest conduct,” and ordered Katleho and Buzza to personally repay the FULL amount plus the SIU’s legal costs.... And that’s not all. Earlier, the same company scored a R2.7 million soap tender for Gauteng Health. Investigators found it was massively overpriced (by more than R1.1 million). Nomvula Mokonyane herself stepped in and paid R1.6 million from her own personal bank account to help Tuwo Rhodesia deliver the 200,000 soap bars. That’s roughly R17 million in quantified irregular COVID-era funds directly linked to Nomvula Mokonyane’s inner circle. The SIU is busy recovering the money through civil cases at the Special Tribunal — but where is the criminal accountability? No arrests. No charges. No handcuffs. Just “pay back the money” while those connected to power walk free. This is exactly why ordinary South Africans are furious. Public funds meant for masks, sanitiser, and saving lives ended up lining connected pockets. South Africa deserves real justice, not endless civil recoveries that never touch the politicians. Pay back EVERY cent… and face the law like any other citizen. #COVIDCorruption #SIU #SpecialTribunal #AccountabilityNow #NomvulaMokonyane @AfricaisBlack @CyrilRamaphosa @MbalulaFikile @goolamv @GovernmentZA @HermanMashaba @azania1023 @Knick_RSA @MkhontoweSizwex @ParliamentofRSA @AmukelaniMoyani @simsilwana @Absolute_Kganki @Patricia_Bantom @XFactor079 @AdvBMkhwebane @itsmmabatho @PMashatile @SizweMpofuWalsh @AdvDali_Mpofu @Zwelinzima1 @SABCNews @TheRealClementM @GwedeMantashe1 @PublicProtector
🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).” “Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said. South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices. A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors. Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%). That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.

The lies of this woman are beyond deceit. This woman is directly responsible for the ANC government in the City of Johannesburg. We haven’t forgotten. She has the audacity to lie with a straight face. Shameless human being.
