Former public protector Thuli Madonsela released her 'Derailed' report in August 2015. Now, Prasa is set to act against officials implicated in that report.
Initial complaints to Madonsela from the National Transport Movement trade union alleged that Montana was behind the security contracts — and the misappropriation of some R2-billion of Prasa’s funds. Other allegations included Montana having a role in the signing of a newsletter publication contract with a company belonging to a senior ANC official, as well as several other contracts with close friends and relatives.
She did find that in April 2009 the former regional chief: protection and security services, Chris Moloi, used his seniority and considerable influence in the Gauteng South region to terminate the contract of National Force Security and appoint Sidas, awarding a R3.7-million contract but without following procurement procedures including a competitive bidding process. Then assistant manager Ronnie Khumalo was also found to have acted irregularly in the Sidas appointment.
As regional chief: corporate security Stephen Nkhuna, who denied any wrongdoing during his hearing was found to have flouted Prasa’s supply chain management policy as well as the Public Finance Management Act in the awarding of contracts to Vimtsire in 2010 and 2011 .
