Johannesburg - The company that billed R76 million for the funerals of three Struggle stalwarts this week maintained that the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure knew the prices it was paying before the funerals.
“It was suspected that funeral costs paid to Crocia were exorbitant and not in accordance with the contract entered into with the department. It was further alleged that the department did not receive value for money in respect of payments made,” says a report presented by De Lille this week. He said there were no criminal charges against the company and the police had not charged or arrested anyone.
De Lille’s report states that the procurement process that led to the appointment of Crocia Events was flawed, as bids were evaluated based on the total amount without considering individual line items.
