27 April 2026 – The Chairperson of North West Legislature Portfolio Committee on Community Safety and Transport Management (COSATMA), Freddy Sonakile, will convene a three-day engagement session with key stakeholders as part of its ongoing inquiry into the affairs of the North West Transport Investment (NTI) SOC Ltd. Sonakile said the meeting will take place at NWPL Committee Room 2 from 28 – 30 April 2026 at 8am.
“Since October 2024, the committee has been conducting a comprehensive fact-finding process into governance, financial, and operational challenges affecting NTI. This includes matters relating to the business rescue process, contractual obligations, financial management, and decisions taken by various role players.
“The upcoming engagements form part of the final phase of the inquiry and will include appearances by identified stakeholders, affected parties, and relevant entities. These sessions aim to provide a platform for submissions, clarification of outstanding issues, and to ensure that all relevant persons are afforded an opportunity to be heard before the committee concludes its work,” he said.
Sonakile further said the outcomes of these engagements will inform the committee’s final report and recommendations to the North West Provincial Legislature on interventions required to address the challenges at NTI and strengthen oversight, accountability, and service delivery within the transport sector.
