This after the board of the South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) decided to cancel five multi-billion rand contracts in June because of their management’s failure to adhere to a board resolution that sought to have all projects over R1 billion evaluated by a different set of consulting engineers to those that designed the tender. Sanral reportedly cancelled the five tenders worth R17,4 billion in June, and re-awarded four of the contracts to Asian companies last week. The R4 billion project was awarded to China Communications Construction Company (CCCC). .........https://www.citizen.co.za/witness/news/ ... raws-flak/
