On Thursday, the EFF claimed to have damning information regarding alleged tender irregularities at Transnet. During a press conference at the EFF headquarters in Braamfontein, Julius Malema claimed to have information that R17bn was lost in corruption over the procurement of 1,064 locomotives at Transnet. He named Malusi Gigaba‚Brian Molefe‚ Anoj Singh‚ Iqbal Sharma and Garry Pita as being involved. He added that the party will be laying criminal charges against the board that allegedly approved the tenders at the exorbitant amounts "to enable corruption": "The bidders who lost on the basis of their prices being too high must sue Transnet." Transnet has yet to respond to the claims. Attempts are being made to contact the parastatal.
