Israel has knowingly and deliberately continued to act in defiance of the [International Court of Justice] Order. In addition to causing the death by starvation of Palestinian children in babies, Israel has also continued to kill approximately 4,548 Palestinian men, women and children since 26 January 2024, and to wound a further 7,556, bringing the grim totals to 30,631 killed and 72,043 injured. An unknown number of bodies remain buried under the rubble. 1.7 million Palestinians remain displaced — many of them permanently, Israel having damaged or destroyed approximately 60 per cent of the housing stock in Gaza. Approximately 1.4 million people are squeezed into Rafah — which Israel has stated it intends to attack imminently. Israel’s destruction of the Palestinian healthcare system has also continued apace, with ongoing, repeated attacks on hospitals, healthcare, ambulances and medics. Israel has also continued to conduct widespread attacks on schools, mosques, businesses and entire villages and areas.
COMPLAINT: WESTERN CAPE COMMUNICATIONS CONTRACT
The ANC in the Western Cape requests you to investigate the Department of the Premier, the role of the premier (directly or indirectly through her discressionary appointed advisers / staff in her personal office) and the involvement of all other officials of the Provincial Government, together with two companies in the unauthorized appointment of one called Yardstick without following prior due process, no clear terms of reference or procurement approval process and the after the fact expansion of tender FMA 0027 to TBWA\ Hunt Lascaris and all other matters pertaining to this multimillion Rand contract. This process stretches from year 2010 to 2011.
We believe that the process undertook by the Provincial Government was flawed every step of the way and in breach of various regulations and other control measures, including, but not restricted to:
These and others problems pointed out (also mentioned in a Provincial Treasury evaluation) require your office to immediately pay attention to the Provincial Government of the Western Cape as these are substantively serious.
If needed, we are available to expand on our request for an urgent investigation into this abuse of power, maladministration, improper dealings with respect to public money and random decisions taken by this government.
With kind regards,
Songezo Mjongile
Provincial Secretary
