No details on Joburg R750 million IT projects

The City of Johannesburg has confirmed that it will spend R750 million on a number of information technology (IT) projects but has not given details of how this money will be spent according to an article published on Page Three of The Star's print and electronic editions.

It says that between January and March, the Joburg supply chain management unit approved plans to set up three IT companies for unspecified projects with a maximum spend of up to R750 million over three years.

The Star says the unit's report refers to IT-related projects and city spokesman Nthatisi Modingoane has dismissed suggestions that it had circumvented the open-tender processes.
