Evidence table
| Date | Category | Status | Summary | Source | Confidence | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26 June 2026 | Inclusion source | Verified for listing | Listed in Parliament of South Africa's official National Assembly member directory. | Parliament member directory | High | 0 |
| 2021-01-12 | Credible allegation | Reported SAPS Serious Commercial Crime investigation | ActionSA reported that SAPS had confirmed a 2018 criminal case involving Geoff Makhubo and Parks Tau was being investigated by the Serious Commercial Crime division. Because the currently linked source is an advocacy statement rather than a primary SAPS record, this is scored cautiously as a credible allegation, not as a charge, conviction or official finding. | ActionSA statement on Regiments-related case | Medium | +15 |
| 2018-12-10 | Credible allegation | Regiments/Makhubo allegation background | amaBhungane reported on Regiments-linked payments and documents concerning Johannesburg contracts and ANC-linked actors. This is retained as supporting background for the same Regiments-related matter and is not double counted. | amaBhungane Regiments investigation background | Medium | 0 |
| 2013-07-31 | Cleared or contextualised matter | Earlier City of Johannesburg conflict matter cleared | The City of Johannesburg published a statement saying Tau had been cleared in an earlier, separate tender/conflict allegation involving a consortium in which his wife held an interest. This is retained as context and is not scored. | City of Johannesburg clearance statement | High | 0 |
Methodology note
Integrity Index uses a risk-score model where higher scores indicate higher publicly documented integrity risk. For the Parliament page, profiles are included only where the person is listed in the official National Assembly member directory. Evidence scores are added when a source-linked item has been reviewed against the published Scoring Criteria and Scoring Sources pages.
