No hand in selecting contractors for the province's 2010 1billion rands Housing Project - Zwane

Former Free State Human Settlements MEC Mosebenzi Zwane has denied that he had a hand in selecting contractors for the province's 2010 1billion rands Housing Project. Zwane who was testifying for the second time at the State Capture Commission explained how it came to pass that over 300 contractors bid for the project, some of whom had been disqualified from an earlier disputed open tender process. Zwane has been fingered by a number of officials as being the mastermind behind a scheme to fast-track the delivery of houses within the 2010 financial year which saw 600 million rands paid to service providers for little value for money. He in turn laid the blame on them.
