Communications Minister Solly Malatsi says a PSC investigation found systemic governance failures at SITA, flagging more than R2 billion in irregular expenditure and ordering urgent reforms to restore accountability and efficiency.
Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies Solly Malatsi says a Public Service Commission (PSC) investigation has found systemic governance failures at the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) after more than R2 billion in irregular expenditure was flagged over four audited financial years.
Malatsi and Public Service Commission (PSC) chairperson Professor Somadoda Fikeni on Monday released the commission's investigation report into governance, procurement, consequence management and organisational weaknesses at SITA, covering the period from 2020 to 2025.
The investigation was requested by Malatsi in December 2024 as part of government's efforts to confront longstanding governance failures at SITA, receive factual findings and act on them with urgency.
The report states that it does not make findings of guilt against any individual but identifies systemic, cross-cutting and mutually reinforcing weaknesses in SITA's governance environment.
