Mthunzi Mdwaba, CEO of Thunja Holdings, was unveiled as UDM's Gauteng premier candidate on Thursday afternoon, 12 April 2024, in Sandton, Johannesburg.
Mdwaba, who is on the UDM’s list of candidates running for Parliament, made headlines last year when he claimed Employment and Labour Minister Thulas Nxesi, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana, Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande and ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula were implicated in an alleged large-scale tender bribe.
He said that three Cabinet members approached him through emissaries and demanded "gateway fees" of R500 million, which would be 10% of a R5 billion Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) contract he had acquired as seed funding to generate work for 250 000 people in a job’s initiative.
