Bloemfontein – The Office Of Free State Premier, Joyce “Pretenders” Mathae continues to be in the spot light for all wrong reasons.
Following our story in which we reported Lemo GreenPark will host Men’s Indaba on the 5 December 2025, albeit the RFQ deadline being today, more shocking details.
STEPUPSANEWS is in possession on an official invite signed by Dr Solomon Phera, acting Director-General of Free State Provincial Government on the 18 November 2025, 4 days before RFQs went out.
In essence, by the time RFQs were sent on Saturday, 22 November 2025, a decision to use Lemo had already been taken and no matter how cheap any other company quotes, the Indaba is gone.
This action is similar to the Mathlabs saga and done by the very same people who called Ace Magashule named.
Below is the RFQ list.
In September, the Kotsoane family accused the Premier of playing them dirty.
