THE CORRUPTION CARTEL Let’s see if I can get this right. Way back in 1995, S’bu Ndebele was the Kwazulu-Natal Transport MEC when he appointed George Mahlalela as his private secretary. Read More……….. Around the same time, Kwazi Mbanjwa was KwaZulu-Natal’s head of transport.

In 2006, Lucky Montana – then an acting director-general at the national department - advised Mbanjwa to act against Mahlalela for a number of irregularities concerning bus contracts that had been issued.
These contracts had a value of R1.2-billion.

But, Mbanjwa chose not to lay criminal charges against Mahlalela and the latter left the department quietly, soon after the allegation.

Today, S’bu Ndebele is the National Transport Minister, Kwazi Mbanjwa is his personal advisor, and George Mahlalela has just been appointed his acting director-general.

 

Lucky Montana, in the meantime, is now the chief executive of Metrorail, and as such has to report to Mahlalela, the man he had urged Mbanjwa to act against in 2006.

Mahlalela is also now the boss of senior officials who wanted him punished in view of the forensic audit that exposed his corruption in 2006.

Meanwhile, capo del tuti capi - Ndebele - states that he only became aware of the allegations this week.
Defiantly, he goes on to say that the ‘leaking’ of the findings of the 2006 audit could be ‘political blackmail.’

What we have here is a Corruption Cartel.
Nothing less.
