The Tenderpreneur and the Printing Firm: Wicknell Chivayo and Renform

Episode 6

Thursday, August 8, 2024 • Duration 27:58

In this episode, host Mamello Mosiana dives deep into Zimbabwe’s latest corruption scandal involving the Zimbabwean Electoral Commission (ZEC). The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission is investigating a shocking case of money laundering and abuse of office, centered around an over-inflated tender by South African firm Renform and the politically connected businessman Wicknell Chivayo. Leaked audio and documents reveal outrageous price inflation, with R23 million invoiced for a server worth just R90,000, highlighting a staggering 235% cost escalation. This case shines a harsh light on the pervasive state capture and corruption plaguing Zimbabwe’s procurement processes.

Join Mamello as she speaks with Owen Gagare, editor at News Hawks, and Michael Marchant, Head of Investigations at Open Secrets, to unpack the intricate details of this scandal. Together, they explore the implications for Zimbabwe’s future and the fight against corruption.

Research by Nick Donovan and Michael Marchant.

Who stands to profit from a basic income grant? | Q&A with Open Secrets investigators

Episode 5

Friday, July 26, 2024 • Duration 23:38

In this episode of Open Secrets Radio, we discuss the key issues surrounding the potential implementation of a Basic Income Grant in South Africa and ask, who stands to profit?

The discussion examines the concept of a basic income grant as a form of social protection; its potential to address poverty and inequality; and concerns around the digitization of South Africa’s grant system. Perhaps most importantly, we discuss what the potential for a basic income grant is given South Africa’s new Government of National Unity (GNU).

This podcast is based on a 3-part article series by Open Secrets, published in GroundUp.
