Report on conflict of interest between Eugene Modise, Tshwane service provider to be tabled in council

A forensic investigation report on a conflict of interest between Tshwane Deputy Mayor Eugene Modise and one of the city’s service providers is set to be tabled in council on Thursday.

The report was commissioned by the city to look into any ethical breaches by Modise and Triotic Protection Services.

Triotic Protection Services is a security company that currently has a multimillion-rand contract with the municipality to guard some of the city’s infrastructure.

Modise has previously acknowledged he was a director of Triotic Protection Services.

However, Modise said he resigned from the company when he became an African National Congress (ANC) councillor for Tshwane in 2023.

The investigation into Modise was completed in September, but thespeaker sought legal advice before tabling it before council.

Opposition parties in Tshwane questioned the delays in the release of the report; however, Modise has maintained his innocence.

“Those allegations are false - they realise what they are pushing, now they are trying political gimmicks. We are waiting for the speaker to call council so we can expose their lies to the residents of Tshwane.”

The release of the report comes a few days before the ANC Tshwane elective conference this weekend, where Modise will be fighting to retain his position as regional chairperson.
