From Our Archive: In 2024, Johannesburg Water awarded a roughly R263-million water tanker contract to two little known companies, Builtpro and Nutinox, run by entrepreneurs in their twenties. In December, the High Court declared the contract invalid. But how do you cancel a water tanker contract in the middle of a water crisis? Read our story:

What's the story behind @GaytonMcK's friendship with #BluLabel joint CEO's Brett and Mark Levy? Why did McKenzie visit Blu Label's Sandton offices before #Ticketpro was sold to a PA-linked consortium? New @dailymaverick report out now.

Look at this fool, liar:
He withdrew his ill-considered lawsuit against me as he realised he was making a mistake trying to intimidate me. He changed his mind about giving the court an opportunity to judge his nefarious deeds with people like him. He blocks me to hide more lies

[ICYMI] Following an 18-month investigation, Eskom concedes it made R3-billion in irregular payments to diesel suppliers.
AmaBhungane’s investigation alleged that Eskom made at least R3-billion in prepayments to little-known suppliers who were struggling to deliver enough diesel to Ankerlig when the country was faced with loadshedding in 2025.
While Eskom’s 7-page press release did not use the word “prepayments”, it did refer to “advanced payments” and what it calls “payments outside of the contractual terms”.

Paul O’Sullivan has framed himself as the police commissioner “slayer”, the crusader who exposes “dirty cops”. How did he miss Sibiya operating on his home turf in Sandton?

What did Martha Rantsofu know?
If evidence connects her murder to what she was trying to expose, the investigation cannot stop with the person who pulled the trigger.

WATCH: Learn more about the irregular water tanker tenders awarded by Johannesburg Water that we wrote about earlier this year. It’s because of these irregularities that we’ve been advocating for procurement reform – including our upcoming challenge in the Constitutional Court.

Procurement is a big focus for amaB – we report on dodgy tenders, we advocate for better procurement systems and now we’re challenging the passing of the Public Procurement Act.
See our latest Advocacy piece which shows how all these strands interact: amabhungane.org/public-procu…
