The FF Plus requested the Public Protector (PP), Adv Busisiwe Mkhwebane, to investigate allegations of extensive corruption and fraud in which the North West Premier, Mr Supra Mahumapelo, is implicated.
"Allegations in the media last week that cattle to the value of more than a million rand, which were bought with tax payers’ money, were donated to former President Jacob Zuma constitute only a small part of the supposed fraud," said Pieter Groenewald, FF Plus leader, during a media conference held on Tuesday in Cape Town.
The allegations about the cattle are currently being investigated by the Hawks.
Groenewald says that according to nformation obtained by the FF Plus it can be gleaned that tender fraud lies at the root of the matter and there are allegations that certain tenders, which were awarded since 2014 by the Department of Agriculture in the North West to the agricultural training company Agridelight, have lead to the following alleged cases of corruption:
Agridelight allegedly received R25 million to perform a feasibility study for the construction of a race course in Rustenburg, similar to the Greyville race course in Durban, but thus far nothing has materialised.
