How OUTA exposed R898 million “tender manipulation” by French multinational

- A French multinational company has become embroiled in a third tender controversy, this time to produce “smart driving licence cards” at an inflated cost of R898,597 million - nearly double the budget. In this interview with BizNews Wayne Duvenhage, the CEO of the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA), describes how the findings of its investigation into the tender led to Transport Minister Barbara Creecy’s decision to refer it to the Auditor-General (AG) for further investigstion. The same company recently had its R115-million contract with Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) terminated. And there have been delays in its delivery on a Home Affairs contract. Meanwhile, more whistleblowers are coming forward with inside information on the latest tender awarded to the company. “So the more evidence we gather, the more we'll pass over to the Auditor General. Hopefully then to the police and what we're actually asking for the authorities and the Minister is don't only cancel this tender, find out who in your department is involved, have disciplinary hearings, fire them if need be and then don't stop there, have them charged for the criminal conduct that they have instituted.”

Every corner you turn there is corruption. It’s nauseating.
And the sheer depth is completely off the charts. ANC had one massive non-stop party before our eyes for 30 years and one new discovery becomes worse than the last.
Crafty mother duckers,and they get paid monthly, waf shame.terrible people
It's because around every corner, there are anc members, tenderpreneurs and friends, all who are eyeing a lifestyle of luxury. I was recently present at a tender meeting for the Gauteng Dept of Community Safety, AKA Pantoffel Lesufi's way of employing potential bed mates. Some of the people who pitched up for the meeting were not in the least bit interested in what was going on, clearly indicating a tenderpreneur who was already given the contract, but had to attend to be on the attendance register and to keep up appearances.
@@neelsmostert Lesufi is rotten to the core. Unfortunately if the DA/Afriforum manages to bring him to book, another snake will rise in his footsteps. It’s like Hezbollah🥹
OMG the filth of the South African government is nauseating.
It's everywhere. A major swamp.
Wayne is such an unsung hero, thank you Wayne and OUTTA for all your hard work and dedication to the country
Corruption is an addiction,,OUTA needs our support, you guy's are amazing
OUTA needs a lot more support
The local people involved in this should be charged with treason😡
these are not local people, they are illegal immigrants from africa,Gayton,Zungula,Mashaba,Operation dudula should investigate them, their mothers could have stolen IDs
Let's face it driver license cards is another scam that is making someone very rich ...do we really need these 5 year cards
Funny thing is that banks issue cards every 5 years. They cannot be faked and will chase you for R10 that you owe them. The bank cards rely on encrypted data stored within them. The licence cards have to look "pretty" ;-)
They can easily issue digital, paperless IDs, passports and licences... but what's the fun in that? How would they make money?
@@AlternativPerspectivthe freedoms you surrender today are freedoms your grandchildren will never know existed. Don't accept/support a cashless digital society, you will 100% regret it.
@@jacoswart4397 I havent gone to an ATM since the start ov Covid all EFT payments and card Payments >> No more hassles ..74 and loving it Nothing to regret
No, we don't need it every 5 years
Great work OUTA
Thales, a French company, is in the courts for corrupt dealings with Jacob Zuma. I wonder which ANC bigwigs will be found to be benefitting from Idemia, which is also a French entity. Thank you OUTA for continuing to fight the good fight.
Have you ever wonder who manipulates the Rand? Well, I don't expect it from you people. S overy much gullible.
Unfortunately there will be no consequences for this corruption. ANC = Absolutely No Consequences
love your remark
Well said
Wayne Dubenhage is a HERO!!! KEEP IT UP.
They all rotten to the core.
There seem to no end to the ANC and Comrades Corruption😢😢
Well Done OUTA!!
watch out for these guys, have been bought
OUTA, I support you from the bottom of my heart ❤️...
Well done Wayne, good to see your team doing this work, exposing the rot for all to see. I don't regret signing up and making a small contribution every month, and I'd like to encourage others to do the same. Unfortunately we have people in power who have no moral values, who have no problem in stealing from the public purse, and without independent investigations teams to follow up on whistleblowers, we would all be none the wiser.
I truly hope that this gets the attention it deserves from the NPA, and that criminal proceedings are instituted, with stiff sentences, which will serve as a deterrent for this kind of behavior.
And if the culprits are found guilty and sentenced to jail, that they will not be reprieved on medical conditions.
Heartwarming to see corruption being CHECKED at least, Proper examples must be set to discourage would be Thieves.
When will the rot stop? Makes me sick to my stomach. Thanks OUTA for saving tax payers money. However only the tip of an iceberg. 😢
Please do not let this investigation take another 30 years! We need answers and criminals prosecuted!
Kindly diarise for a follow up. Good work Chris.
Depends on when the case can be set to serve before court.
With the current minister of Justice in control and John Hlope as part of judges appointment committee, don't set your hopes to high.
Another ANC mastermind move in the making, at the cost of the country's poor citizens. Glad to know and not be a member of such a thieving and lying ruling and governing party.
Well done OUTA for bringing out the truth.
Always the same words, BEE, ANC and Corruption. But we never git rid of the problem.
We can’t. 40% of the voting population still vote for the ANC. Another 25% for EFF and MK. This problem is unlikely to ever go away.
Well done Wayne,,, please dont stop !!
Hope the make it all public ,name.and expose these theives,stop them stealing.
Well done Wayne and your team. Keep exposing these corrupt people. We, the people, are right behind you.
Brilliant work as always by Wayne and his team at Outa. Thankyou so much! Love your show Chris, you are the consumate professional.
Donate to OUTA even if it's R100 a month
Corruption is not high on the list of priorities of most voters. Look at MK and EFF
A fish rots from the head. Phala Phala. Digital Vibes. Bosasa. Nkandla. VBS. On and on.
Steinhoff too
Just shows how effective the multi million rand Zondo commission was. These corrupt individuals have no fear of being taken to task.
They have become so bold, it is sickening. They must just go. Enough is enough. The cadres are just too much to tolerate. Wake up South Africans.
He couldnt say it but of course there's a link with ANC cadres. That's the investigation I would like to see unearth
How many South African companies are even allowed to register in France let alone tender ??
Dit is om van naar te raak.
Don't translate this to English...
Well done OUTA. I hope you have people praying for you and your staff for protection. (I'll be the first to do so). There are probably some very angry people out there.
Thank God for OUTA!
I remember when South Africa was under state capture to the Gupta family in India 30 years ago. Nothing has changed. Its got worse.
Well done OUTA. Hope you can take this matter to its rightfull conclusion.
Such a blatant move, they couldn’t care less
Shit doesn't stop. That's why I detest the DA getting into bed with the ANC
But aren't they constantly bringing stuff up like this, that they have found? Same as Gayton Mackenzie?
I agree, I voted for the first time ever, and voted for the DA. This ANC thing doesn't make me feel happy. I thought my vote was gonna stop all of this, not still see it with the DA as their cheerleaders. And i'm black btw. This country can't be going down for so many generations.
@@GcinaTV keep voting, it's working.....😂😂😂
It's because of the DA being in government that you are seeing all the rot coming out.
Orange jump suits PLLLEEEEAAASSSSE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
We will still be paying their lavish livelihood in jail. Its becoming a double edged sword and we are under siege
Can we not do anything without enrichment?
Brilliant work Wayne. The question is who is the company who does it belong to? The whole thing could be ogesytrated from the scope and spec design to secure the order to that company. What does the Lazer imprinting deliver is it not good for control, centerlized data base etc. what if the external influencers are exx South Africans engaged by the controlersb and thus owners of the company? The head of the snake?
Absolutely disgusting!!! An insult to the Nation! But, what else can you expect, hey! 🤔😜😝🤭
At 18:10-> you hit it square on the head. Profits going out of the country are no longer for our scrutiny, therefore any prelim agreement with our officials would not be noticed by SARS, Hawks, etc.
Exeptional program exploiting everything without negotiating to the bone. Thank you for what you do for South Africa!!!. Dries
Get Fance out of the system.
Thank-you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Here in Australia we were ripped off by Degremont in France to the tune of AuD Billions for Desalination plants.
Hallo Mr Duvenage, seeing that ETol is basically something of the past, why is there an ETol shop in Cresta shopping centre, Blackheath, there rent is expensive, if not the most expensive, in Gauteng. Even if it is for a private company, something is wrong. There is even a Home affairs, shop that never works. They are allways of line. Is this another way of waisting money, or is it money laundering?
These are two big international French companies. Corrupting SA with their business dealings can damage our relationship with France. Our government should officially complain to the French government about this undermining and criminal behaviour of French companies in a foreign country
We are the weakest link. If we did not have these corrupt officials, then there wouldn't be a story. Takes two to tango, so to speak. We need to clean our act up, then there won't be beguiling actors even trying
@@psylentrage
It is acceptable, remember the ANC members must also eat and it is acceptable if there are these small secrets in the closet. Remember, this is SA, land of the deprived.
@@nicolaasludick4807 Ah yes, how could I forget?🤭
.. my guess only the US will pickup on this and fine the company if they deal in the states.
Corruption is rife in France. It is a waste of time to speak to the French government, whose president does not even have his peoples own support but he remains in power.
How can a french company tender when white south africa cant tender with out being BBBEEE approved ??
Was Frikkie fear F... not one of the ministers in this period? I recall the story of a problem with a printing machine that was broken bla,bla,bla?
Hi Chris, lovely show always listen to you. Take care
There will be a local, politically connected go- between facillitating the manipulation of the deal and the incentives for the corrupt officials and politicians seeking to benefit from it. Identify these 'business facilitators' and then investigate their movements, communications, connections, transactions, past activities, etc., and their principals on both sides of the equation.
Board Members and their families are blessed in special ways.
It seems like there is no end to looting and corruption and what they are capable of.
Until ANC BECOMES HISTORY.
Thank you OUTA
Why is it necessary to even have a drivers license card. Your drivers license never expires. So why do we now have to " renew" a card every 5 years? Its all about money 💰 💰
And another point is that in the apartheid years your driver's license was issued for a lifetime these renewal every five years enable and aiding the tenders for corruption
How else did France and French businesses survive and thrive for well over 100 years all over Africa ?
By abusing and exploiting African countries - and especially French-speaking Africa - with underhand tactics of industrial scale for many many years ?
Wonder what our President thinks about this, or is he getting his cut on this deal too.
The Crime in ZA 🇿🇦 are so deeply Rooted in this Gov that we Will require 200 years to Clean up the mess if ever !!
It's time for all government contract, tenders, and spending to be placed on blockchain and be made available for all tax payers to see.
Thanks Outa, please keep up the good work!
Go OUTA!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Their hands are so big when outstretched you can fit an Elephant in that hand .. Greed at its highest level
Thank you for your great work! ❤
Absolutely 💯 Wayne thank you
Weldone Wayne... keep up the good work
Thank you OUTA.
Eish hands in the drawer
Viva OUTA!!!!
Electricity been off since the 27th August 2024 at 01:00 am.
The substation went on fire again, this happens +- every 4 months.
Who is making money.
Elm municipality are missing in action
Surely this should have been reserved for shaiky shaik,as a reward reward for loyalty and honorable service to country. Its not fair otherwise.
The plundering continues 😢, and Tax payers just carry on footing the bill. Time Tax payers started taking action if the Authorities aren't.
Other countries dont make you get a new drivers license card. A drivers license is for life unless its endorsed.
USA every 5 years; may roll over to 10 if no record.
This happens regularly
Analyze every big tender to start, The critical few, although the trivial many need the same treatment
Watch now they've been found out n caught in their tracks ...they will call outa racist 😂😂😂😂😂
People need to go jail
May God (Yehovah) bless and protect Wayne Duvenage
How can you built a nation with these people. No wonder...
Why are our tax’s still paying these companies? It should be stopped ASAP!
The tenderer that wins ticks the bribe money box for he crooks in government .
has the people involved been charged ??
Iyoo good work
"What makes this renewal even harder to accept is the fact that it was awarded amid corruption charges against Schabir Shaik and his company, and allegations of kickbacks having been received by former (Transport) Minister Mac Maharaj, which are still under investigation by the Scorpions.
DA,ANC the same once they taste the cookie jar 💰💰
Follow the money to the BEE partners ...
Thank God for everything 🙏 . OUTA, we salute. We thank GNU. Shocking things are still going to be revealed. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!.
The question always remains: What are anybody going to do about it???
Are we still paying money to Schabir Shaikh for out current licences?
A&C needing time to plan their stealing strategy.
And lo and behold these public officials that are engaged in these devious tender processes are not disciplined or at the very least investigated.
Internal manipulation requires a combination of strong internal controls and external oversight. Involve HR, legal and audit departments. Ensure whistleblower protection . Encourage reporting of suspicious activities.
ANC loves the French Revolution and ultimately adheres to the saying “Let them eat cake”
Thank you Bizznews. Hopeless situation. Where will it end?
You used the worst photo of Wayne in your thumbnail. Glad to see how healthy he actually is.😊
Pure crookery ! Sadly honesty and integrity lacking all over SA ! Who ultimately looses the poor !
At the end of the day, it is simply obvious that the government did not have the funds available to support the tender.
Another story thanks to the ANC
It's shocking that it's happening in broad daylight.
We do not need new licence cards.There are far more priorities that should be addressed with 762million rands.
Call out their names and get them locked up
