A company linked to Thabiso Mashatile, son of Deputy President Paul Mashatile, has been removed from the Central Supplier Database (CSD), effectively banning it from doing business with the government.
Modipadi Nokaneng recently renamed 0711 Stuttgart was struck off the database following reports linking it to suspicious government contracts. While the Health Minister’s parliamentary response did not spell out the precise reasons, removals from the CSD typically relate to fraud, misrepresentation, or non-performance
The company previously came under scrutiny after benefiting from a Gauteng health contract that escalated from R49 million to over R91 million, alongside the Ngwato and Manzi Group.
Further concerns include a R3 million SARS VAT bill tied to government tenders and unresolved labour disputes involving unpaid settlements of about R219,000 to retrenched workers.
Investigations also revealed overlapping operations between Modipadi Nokaneng and related entities, including shared office space and staff. The company is directed by Taletjo Mahlakoana, a known business associate of Thabiso Mashatile and his stepbrother, Tinyiko Mvelase.
