CIDB DIRECTED TO INVESTIGATE GRADING ALLOCATIONS OF MORIAL INFRASTRUCTURE GROUP The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson, has noted with concern the allegations that Morial Infrastructure Group obtained multiple gradings from the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) all on the same day. Further allegations suggest that the company may not have met the requirements for these gradings, which may subsequently have been used to secure contracts from various spheres of government. The Minister has therefore directed the CIDB to immediately investigate the matter and report back to him at the earliest opportunity.

1. Company registration The public company record for MORIEL INFRASTRUCTURE GROUP, registration M2011004508, gives an incorporation date of 23 February 2011 and identifies it as a South African private company. Moriel's compliance information An important additional finding is that Moriel's own company profile publishes: CIPC: 2011/004508/07 CSD: MAA0147423 CIDB: 249585 CIDB gradings: 8CE, 8SB, 8SK, 7EP, 7ME, 7GB COIDA: 990000563543 UIF: 2627413/3 SDL: L7330778301 PAYE: 7330778301 B-BBEE: Level 1 One point worth flagging: Moriel's LinkedIn profile says the group was "Established in 2008", while the legal entity record gives 23 February 2011. Those are not necessarily contradictory—2008 could refer to the business/group history—but the legal entity's incorporation date is 23 February 2011. 2.
