Afriforum Youth will be conducting an independent investigation into the tenders awarded to ANC Youth League President Julius Malema’s company, SGL Engineering Projects and other companies in the North West and Limpopo provinces.

Afriforum Youth’s Ernst Roets said “Malema plays a senior role in the ruling party and that the awarding of municipal tenders to a company of which he is a director, is unethical, irrespective of what the Public Protector or any law may say in this regard".

Advocate Thuli Madonsela said “she could not find any irregularities in the company, SGL Engineering Projects."

"All the tender documentation of six of the municipalities investigated had not been up to date, saying there was "no verifiable information or evidence" that the tenders were awarded to the company through "improper influence, comradeship, nepotism, political affiliations, or any other impropriety," said Madonsela.

Afriforum Youth will be studying the Public Protectors report and investigate the matter further.
