Johannesburg – Public Protector Thuli Madonsela has instructed the Limpopo Roads and Transport Department to blacklist Julius Malema’s business partner, Lesiba Gwangwa, from serving as a director in terms of the provisions of the law.

In her provisional report into engineering firm On-Point, Madonsela ordered authorities and the department to also blacklist the company for fraudulently misrepresenting its bid for a R52 million project-management unit tender and subsequently benefiting from it improperly.

On-Point is an engineering firm that is partly owned by Malema and Gwangwa’s family trusts. Gwangwa is the chief executive. “Commence the process of imposing a restriction penalty on On-Point and Mr Gwangwa in terms of the provisions or clause 23 of the General Conditions of Contract,” Madonsela said.
