@kamo_marven said:

“That DJ Shimza and Somizi tender is irregular and the SIU must investigate, for every government tender it must be advertised and the public must bid the government can not just choose who they want to work with.”

@umalambane _zn said:

“Some of us got blocked when we questioned the selection criteria of Shimza's restaurant for the show. If the aim was to really boost tourism in Tembisa why would they choose a well known establishment as compared to New restaurants who need the exposure. But it's all clear now.”

@justswazi said:

“Shimza is politically connected Shem.”

Nota accused Shimza of dating President Ramaphosa’s communications officer, Athi Geleba, and using her to bag these contracts. He said:

“Shimza has been benefiting from political connections for years. He called me a moerskont but I don’t moerskont on taxpayers' money. Khusela Diko was fired for allowing her husband to win PPE tenders and he later died of COVID19 complications. Athi’s boy toy will cost her.”
