Former Free State Human Settlements MEC Mosebenzi Zwane faced tough questions over questionable procurement processes followed by his department for the approval of contractors in the R1billion housing project in 2010.

Johannesburg - The commission is probing the process followed in appointing 106 contractors to build houses in the province in 2010.

The records show that the department had an open bidding process open which invited bidders for the housing project. The bids were closed on April 16, 2010. Evidence leader advocate Paul Pretorius put it to Zwane that when exco approved the June 30 list with over 100 contractors it was actually an expired list.Zwane said he did not know that the list had expired when he presented it to exco.
