At work today, working weekends, the crappiest aspect of my job... Millions blown in corrupt IT tender
Police are about to swoop on the Ekurhuleni municipality - perhaps even before Wednesday’s election - and arrest five senior officials for an elaborate tender fraud that has cost hundreds of millions of rands for a computer system that does not work.
The Saturday Star can reveal that a special investigating team has finalised its probe and will meet with the National Prosecuting Authority next week to have the arrest warrants issued.
Specialist forensic investigators Aurco were called in to the East Rand metropolis when the scope of the fraud proved to be too big for the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality’s (EMM) internal auditors.
The auditors themselves were tipped off by anonymous whistleblowers
