The Madlanga Commission is expected to hear more testimony from organised crime officer, Sergeant Fannie Nkosi, on the corruption and tender manipulation in the City of Tshwane and also the Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD). #news #MadlangaCommission #FannieNkosi #tender #corruption #CityofTshwane #TMPD Read on tinyurl.com/26ej3897

#MadlangaCommission: Commissioner concludes that Nkosi's explanation—that he was merely seeking information on job applications—is false. The true explanation is either: (1) Nkosi was using his access to influence appointments, or (2) MMC Morodi was using Nkosi to hide her footprint in influencing applications. Nkosi denies both, insisting she gave him documents "out of wanting to help." Commissioner notes that by sharing internal city job application correspondence, Nkosi was given access to documents that should remain between the city and applicants—documents he had no right to see. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…

#MadlangaCommission: Nkosi pressed on why MMC Morodi would send him job applications to follow up—concluding it only makes sense if she knew he had inside access to municipal information. Nkosi acknowledges she knew he had "the ability to get that information." However, he also admits General Dlamini (deputy chief of TMPD) is not involved in recruitment of cleaners, cashiers, or administrative staff—yet Nkosi sent those applications to him anyway. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…

#MadlangaCommission: Nkosi confronted about sending job applications for non-Metro Police positions (cleaners, general workers, senior administrative officer) to General Dlamini—who heads Metro Police, not city HR. Nkosi claims he "took advantage" of Dlamini's position in "the umbrella of the city." Received "nothing much" in feedback, yet continued sending applications for months. One applicant was a relative of "mama" whose case involved General Sibiya and Mthakathi. None of the applicants were successful. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…

#MadlangaCommission: Nkosi confronted about forwarding JMPD fitness assessment invitation to General Dlamini, thinking it was from Tshwane. When Dlamini corrected him, Nkosi's question "how legit is this?" suggested he suspected irregularity. Counsel argues the parent expected Nkosi to ensure their child's application was processed, and Nkosi was concerned that someone else—not his applicant—had been invited. Nkosi denies this interpretation. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…

#MadlangaCommission: Nkosi confronted about forwarding a job fitness assessment invitation to General Dlamini with message "my general, how legit is this?" The invitation summoned applicants to Roodepoort—not Tshwane jurisdiction. Nkosi claims he was verifying legitimacy. General Dlamini responded: "is for the JMPD. It's not for TMPD." Nkosi admits he forwarded without clarifying it wasn't a Tshwane document. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…

#MadlangaCommission: Nkosi admits none of the job applicants he helped were successful. He claims they reported to him individually that they failed because they were "not compliant." Cannot recall if anyone was successful. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…

#MadlangaCommission: Nkosi confronted about MMC Morodi sending him job application receipts to follow up—despite being an MMC with direct access to the city. Nkosi claims he was asked because he "believes in youth development" and does charity work. He forwarded the applications to General Dlamini to "check what is happening." Counsel questions why an MMC would need an outsider to follow up on city applications. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…

#MadlangaCommission: Nkosi confronted with multiple job application receipts sent to General Dlamini and MMC Morodi. Claims he sends these to help youth follow up on applications. Counsel notes receipts state processing takes up to 12 weeks, yet Nkosi forwards them to Dlamini within 3 weeks—premature for follow-up. Morodi also sent receipts, wanting Nkosi to "check if indeed it was received" and address why applicants aren't being called. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…

#MadlangaCommission: Counsel suggests Mampane—who had bid on tender 03-2024-25—had strong incentive to prevent new appointments, as existing providers (including possibly him) would continue. Mampane's message "let him say no to that appointment" aligns with this interest. Nkosi refuses to comment, claiming not to know Mampane's bid status. Brief adjournment. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…

Testimony at the Madlanga Commission has alleged political fixing, secret company lists, and leaked tender documents. Nkosi’s claims intensify scrutiny and raise tough questions about transparency in government dealings. #news #MadlangaCommission #politics #transparency #FannieNkosi Read on tinyurl.com/vsfvr3ha

#MadlangaCommission: Nkosi pressed on forwarding internal tender document from General Dlamini to Mnisi (March), then to Mampane (April). Mampane's message "please let him say no to that appointment" would have preserved existing service providers—a scenario benefiting Mampane. Nkosi claims not to recall. Counsel notes Nkosi uses interpreter selectively despite understanding questions, creating delays. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…

#MadlangaCommission: Nkosi confronted with evidence that the tender document he sent to Mampane was a "draft" internal document (TMPD 03-24-25 draft admin report), not a public bid opening list. Nkosi insists it was in the public domain. Counsel notes the document was received from General Dlamini (page 518) and was part of an internal adjudication process. Nkosi stands by his claim. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…

#MadlangaCommission: Nkosi pressed on why he sent confidential internal Tshwane tender document to Mr. Mampane in April 2025—six months before the tender was cancelled. The document (page 993) contains pre-compliance evaluation notes, not a public bid opening list. Nkosi claims once bids are captured, the list becomes public—a claim challenged by the document's internal nature. #Madlanga youtube.com/live/GnQ87_Oro…
