The Department issued a statement today claiming it only learned about the R15 million corruption allegations through the Sunday World report.
This is false. Attached is the report I submitted to the Acting Director-General on 21 May 2025.
I also referenced, our conversation on a Monday, 14 May 2025 -which I recorded: I informed him that my supervisor had disclosed my identity to the service provider, placing me at serious risk.
Following my submission, the Department proceeded to pay a further R6.7 million to the service provider -expenditure that could have been entirely prevented had the Acting Director-General acted on my disclosure.
I will let the public draw its own conclusions about what it means when corruption is formally reported and no action is taken.
OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT
Your Excellency, @CyrilRamaphosa Minister @mmkubayi
I reported this procurement to DoT management in May 2025. Nothing happened for a year. On 19 May 2026 I disclosed to the Auditor-General, Treasury, SCOPA, Parliament and the Hawks. Only then did anything move.
AGSA found 7 quotations for live streaming, each structured just under the R1m threshold, totalling R6.8m, with R13.3m paid to the same suppliers over 2 years. Its conclusion: “the finding remains.” Irregular expenditure confirmed.
DoT’s own investigator found a senior official fabricated a letter trying to get me fired, and recommended my reporting line be changed. That finding is 17 months old. Nothing has been implemented. He remains my supervisor.
Sept 2026, in writing: the Acting DG warned of “consequences” after I requested records under PAIA. I’ve since been told the key forensic note “cannot be located.”
Today DoT issued a media statement calling my victimisation claims “devoid of the truth.” That contradicts its own investigator’s report, its own grievance outcome letter and its own clinical assessment. I have answered it, document by document.
I thank the Hawks official and the Auditors from AGSA, because of them, I have not lost faith in the public service.
No forum has yet heard my case on the merits. I make no allegation of criminality.
This is not a new report to the Presidency, I had made the same report on 19 May 2025, following that report, the AGSA investigated and made mentioned findings.
@haifah_er_abba Ke c1v1=c2v2, so every sip you take has ~7% alcohol,
7% of 1litre is not the same as 7% of 750ml,
So getting the 7%when you finish the bottle is wrong
