The Western Cape Standing Committee on Public Accounts or Scopa has confirmed that they will probe Cape Town Mayor Patricia De Lille’s role in awarding a contract worth eight-million-Rands.

De Lille allegedly pressured Swellendam Municipality’s former chief financial officer Nigel Delo into awarding the eight-million-Rands tender to an investment firm called Quadrix in 2009.

The Independent Democrats party is reported to have invested party funds with Quadrix. Scopa chairperson Pauline Cupido says they will study the evidence before deciding on the next step at next week’s meeting.
