The Public Protector Thuli Madonsela has decided to investigate allegations of tender fraud in the Western Cape.

Her spokesperson Kgalalelo Masibi says a team has been appointed to come up with an investigation plan.

The allegations relate to a communications tender, worth between R50 and R70 million, which was awarded to advertising agency TBWA Hunt Lascaris.

Western Cape Premier Helen Zille welcomed the investigation.

Zille says she has nothing to hide and will resign from her position if the tender allocation process is found to have been corrupt.
