Makosi Makamba

role she would have played had Ms Gxasheka not introduced the people

Makosi Makamba is a former municipal official who served as project manager for the training function and represented her department at the Bid Specification Committee, where she was responsible for overseeing the tender process. Her testimony before the commission centred on a training tender that was nearing its end in late 2022, and she described multiple engagements with the divisional head, Ms Gxasheka, seeking approval of bid specifications so the HR department could proceed. Makamba left the municipality in November 2023, citing irreconcilable differences with Gxasheka's management style. She faced questions about the extent of Gxasheka's involvement in the tender, with suggestions that Makamba had sidelined her from the process and taken charge herself.
