The ANC and DA have locked horns in the Tshwane municipality over the legality of a multibillion-rand project-management contract.
The DA-led administration says it followed due process when awarding engineering consultancy GladAfrica managing authority over R12bn in infrastructure projects, from which the firm raked in a quarter of a billion rand in middleman commissions over the past six months.
