11 October 2025- Magalies Water said it has noted with concern a hoax email, bearing the face of its General Manager – Water Services, Dr Vhahangwele Akinwekomi and the name of the entity’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Matshidiso Tabane.
The WATER UTILITY SPOKESPERSON, David Magae said the email puts into question the manner in which Magalies Water conducts business, including by way of accepting unsolicited goods and services, without taking into account the provisions of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). Magae said Magalies Water fully complies with all statutes and regulations governing public procurement of goods and services.
“Consequently, we will not enter into any agreement with any supplier of goods and services without following its prescribed Supply Chain Management (SCM) policy read together with the National Treasury regulations.
“The public is encouraged to apply caution to all electronic communication received using the name of Magalies Water, particularly from third parties relating to procurement of goods and services and are also encouraged to authenticate this information by directly contacting the entity when in doubt,” he said.
