PO boss still awaits report claiming he lied to Minister
Post Office CE Khutso Mampeule is accused of lying to Communications Minister Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri and failing to fulfil his fiduciary duties in extracts from auditing firm SizweNtsalubas forensic report into problems at the SA Post Office, contained in court files.
Based on the report, says Business Day, Matsepe-Casaburri has been planning to fire Mampeule, but the action was delayed when Mampeule won a court battle two weeks ago, forcing her to give him the full report so he could prepare a defence. However, yesterday Mampeule said he was still waiting for the report. This is the most extraordinary situation. Following the High Court order on April 20, I expected to be forwarded the report but even though Ive sent three letters to (Matsepe-Casaburri), I havent been given the report, he said. Effectively, Mampeule claims, this delay may be an attempt to cover up instances of poor governance or corruption committed by other PO directors. Full Business Day report
