The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) has experienced significant accounting system breaches in March, April, and November, leading to an estimated R55 million loss. The chairperson of the Portfolio Committee, Carol Phiri, criticizes the Sage financial system, suggesting it is not fit for purpose. The Minister, Dean Macpherson, agrees, stating the department should have opted for National Treasury's existing systems or off-the-shelf alternatives.
The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure accounting system suffered breaches in March, April, and November this year, with an estimated R55 million lost due to the attacks.
Macpherson said the department should have worked with existing systems within National Treasury, or used off-the-shelf alternatives. He said a decision had been made to place ICT under administration within the department, with additional resources being allocated to oversee the functionality of these systems.
Mahlangu also explained that the preliminary investigation had led to some individuals being placed back into suspension, while others remained suspended.
