The Public Protector is probing the controversial R225 million IT tender at the Office of the Chief Justice .
The Sunday Times first reported on the case, saying former chief financial officer Casper Coetzer, spokesperson and chief director of court administration Nathi Mncube and case management director Yvonne van Niekerk assumed new roles as 30% sub-contractors to Thomson Reuters after playing a part in awarding a R225 million CaseLines deal to the company.
Commenting further, Tebogo Khaas, chairman of Public Interest SA, says: “Any investigation that doesn’t seek to establish circumstances surrounding the award of the related pilot project will only yield limited and unsatisfactory outcomes. The Hawks must get to the bottom of this stench.
