A sub-contractor says he deserves the more than R20 million he pocketed. The state capture inquiry is this week probing an asbestos contract worth R255 million rand by the Free State government. Abel Manyike’s Ori Group is one of the companies that benefited from that tender. He was sub-contracted to do an assessment audit on 300,000 houses in Free State. He charged the provincial government over R20 million for the job. Manyike justifies the amount he charged, saying it was a reasonable fee based on the scope of work assigned to him.
