The metro distances itself from fake emails doing the rounds regarding the \u201cawarding\u201d of a particular tender.<\/p>\n
It has been brought to the attention of the metro that there is an email circulating purportedly from the city manager Dr Imogen Mashazi informing a company to urgently contact an official regarding \u201cContract: A-EE 16-2018\u201d.<\/p>
\u201cThe city manager distances herself from these malicious and fake emails, which certainly were never generated and sent by her nor do they originate from her computer,\u201d said Zweli Dlamini, spokesperson for the city manager.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe view this development as a desperate attempt, by faceless people, to tarnish the image of the city manager.\u201d<\/p>
