Former Public Protector and MK Party MP Busisiwe Mkhwebane's foundation has requested the Madlanga Commission to investigate allegations of fraud in relation to the SAPS computer software system.
Followers of the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry must brace themselves for another damning testimony of how the South African Police Service (SAPS) was shortchanged into paying private companies billions of rand for the right to use computer software that the SAPS had developed internally.
The allegations of how the police were allegedly cheated out of R50 billion are contained in an affidavit, which former Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s foundation submitted to the commission on May 13.
The Busisiwe Mkhwebane Foundation (BMF) has requested the commission, which President Cyril Ramaphosa established to probe alleged criminality, political interference, and corruption in the criminal justice system, to investigate its new allegations in relation to the handling of the software system.
The BMF believed that three companies, which cannot be named as they could not be located for a response, acquired a contract to control the software through capturing the SAPS.
