The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure will review the investigation conducted into the acquisition and renovation of the former Telkom Towers police headquarters.

Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson has ordered the review of the report of audit firm Gobodo Forensic and Investigative Accounting into the R700 million purchase and renovation of SAPS’s former offices at Telkom Towers Complex building.

This takes place almost 10 months after consulting firm, Gobodo Forensic and Investigative Accounting (GFIA), submitted its report to the department upon completion of an investigation into the alleged irregularities in the acquisition of the Telkom Towers Complex by the department.

Macpherson said the report, submitted in August 2025, failed to meet the expectations.

“A careful consideration of the forensic report prepared by GFIA cross checked against the Annexures and Evidence Exhibits cited, and it is evident that the report, in its current form, is materially insufficient and does not adequately fulfil its intended or contracted purpose,” he said.
