ActionSA demands probe into R16m eThekwini tender linked to ‘bullet in you’ businessman
ActionSA is demanding a probe into a multimillion-rand tender awarded by eThekwini municipality to millionaire businessman Lawrence Mudzinganyama who was arrested for threatening to “put a bullet” into a group of women at a Sandton restaurant.
In video footage, Mudzinganyama can be heard saying: “I wanted to correct you, she is telling me to leave. I will put a bullet in you now, you understand. I will murder you now and walk. You can say ‘no’ in a nice, respectful way. Don’t ever. I am a wealthy man, you guys are poor ladies. You can record me. I will put a bullet in all of you.”
Mudzinganyama handed himself over at the Randburg police station on Monday and was subsequently released on a warning to appear in court on October 1.
While he has since apologised for the incident, which reportedly took place at Vlamo restaurant in Sandton Gate on Friday, Moriel Infrastructure Group has fired him and he has been kicked out of the Steyn City estate.
Police minister Firoz Cachalia asked the department of home affairs to confirm Mudzinganyama’s status.
