The City of Tshwane Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Gareth Mnisi, has been placed on precautionary suspension effective immediately.
Mnisi is also expected to face disciplinary action following evidence of tender rigging at the Madlanga Commission of inquiry into alleged criminality, political interference and corruption in the criminal justice system.
The evidence was presented to the commission last week.
