Nkosi's brother's company secured more than R2m from Tshwane tender despite non-compliance

A company belonging to the brother of controversial cop Fannie Mkosi has been paid more than R2 million by the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, despite being non-compliant.

In November last year, the metro awarded an anti-land invasion tender to eight companies that included Ngaphesheya Construction and Projects (Pty) Ltd, a company owned by Nkosi’s brother.

WhatsApp chats before the Madlanga Commission show Nkosi regularly interacted with Tshwane’s chief financial officer, Gareth Mnisi, regarding securing the tender for his brother.

Mnisi was the chairman of the city’s Bid Adjudication Committee.

Documents before the commission show Ngaphesheya Construction and Projects (Pty) Ltd was non-compliant with at least 12 of the bid specifications and missed the submission deadline.

Testifying before the commission on Tuesday, the Tshwane Metro Police Department's Deputy Chief, Revo Spies, said Ngaphesheya Construction and Projects (Pty) Ltd was one of the approved bidders.

“I am aware of evidence before the commission that suggests that Mr Mnisi, General (Deputy Commissioner) Dhlamini and Sgt Nkosi conspired to secure the appointment of Naphesheya Construction and Projects (Pty) Ltd (Ngapesheya) as one of the successful bidders on this tender, despite the fact that the Ngaphesheya bid was non-compliant. The city has, thus far, paid Ngaphesheya a total amount of R 2, 028, 154,32 ostensibly for services provided to the city in terms of its appointment flowing from tender.”

The commission will resume on 7 April 2026.
