Herman Segolela

Herman Segolela is a figure whose name surfaced during the commission’s inquiry into the Tshwane security tender process, primarily through testimony from Major Phiri. Phiri described receiving WhatsApp messages and calls from Segolela regarding the deployment of security personnel to sites experiencing vandalism, with Segolela allegedly coordinating with commissioners and conveying that the problem extended beyond a single location. Emails attributed to him reportedly referenced his own observations at sites like Waverley. Later, correspondence read into the record under his name pressed for urgent confirmation of deployments, citing vandalism at the Klapperkop water pump station and forwarding updated security lists. His role appears to centre on facilitating or directing security responses, though the full extent of his authority and connections remains a subject of the inquiry.
