The R4 Billion Locomotive Scandal: How Transnet Lost Its Way
​Description:
​In this investigative deep dive, we break down one of the most significant procurement controversies in South Africa’s history: the Transnet locomotive tender. From the initial contracts to the multi-billion rand escalations, we pull back the curtain on the decisions that shook our state-owned enterprises.
​We examine the pivotal roles played by former Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba and former Transnet CEO Brian Molefe. How did a massive infrastructure project intended to modernize our rail network spiral into years of court cases and allegations of irregular procurement?
​In this episode of Second Opinion 365, we move beyond the headlines to look at the timeline of the 1,064 locomotive deal. We explore how procurement processes were allegedly bypassed, the ballooning costs that impacted our economy, and the ongoing efforts to hold those in power accountable.
