Scorpio: Gravy trains: Prasa’s ‘Dr’ Daniel Mtimkulu helped sister’s company pocket R57m for ‘non-existent’ work By Pieter-Louis Myburgh

In late November 2013, “Dr” Daniel Mtimkulu, Prasa’s former executive manager for engineering services, penned a memorandum for the attention of his boss, the then group CEO Lucky Montana.

The memorandum included a list of 27 companies that Mtimkulu wanted to bring into the Prasa fold. About two weeks after the submission, Montana signed off on the document. Thanks to Montana’s formal blessing, these companies could now secure fat contracts from Prasa for infrastructure projects. And they wouldn’t even have to submit tenders.

Further research revealed that Msutu’s maiden name is in fact Mtimkulu. What’s more, Daniel and Kulekwa Mtimkulu have on several occasions listed the same address in Sebokeng, south of Johannesburg, as their home address.also tracked down two sources who are familiar with the Mtimkulu family. They confirmed that Kulekwa was Mtimkulu’s biological sister and that the address in Sebokeng was their parents’ home.

Is that WMC again?

Lucky Montana and Mthimkhulu must have doctored a lot of tenders in PRASA.
