6.1.1 Committee concerns: Members raised numerous concerns around the controversial leases. Areas of particular concern to Members included: whether the leases for the Pretoria office (Sanlam building)/Durban office were published for tender, and, if not, why not; whether the National Commissioner had signed the needs assessment and budget letters confirming available funds for the Pretoria building; and why a second lease agreement for a second building was signed while the lease agreement for the current head office in Pretoria had been extended.
