There are also claims that substantial portions of the aerial firefighting component, allegedly valued at R650 million a year, will be carried out by Kishugu Aviation. SubcontractingNqayi also rejected any suggestion that it was aware of a subcontracting arrangement between Tefla Aviation and Kishugu Aviation. “The DFFE is not aware of a subcontracting agreement between Tefla Aviation and Kishugu Aviation,” he said. He did not identify those proposed subcontractors or indicate whether Kishugu Aviation was among them. Nqayi said the department could not comment further on the tender because the matter remains subject to ongoing court proceedings.
