City of Tshwane chief financial officer Gareth Mnisi left Tshwane House accompanied by individuals wearing South African Revenue Service (SARS) apparel after a search warrant was executed at his office and residence on Thursday morning. The City of Tshwane confirmed that SARS had advised it of the operation and that access was granted in Mnisi's presence, with the search now concluded. Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya has instructed municipal manager Johann Mettler to assess the circumstances and potential implications of the operation, while the city refrains from commenting on the substance of the matter to preserve the integrity of the ongoing investigation.
Mnisi had been suspended in 2026 over allegations of sharing confidential tender information and influencing procurement processes as chairperson of the city’s Bid Adjudication Committee, with a forensic investigation recommending disciplinary action despite not finding him guilty of misconduct.
