The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT) said that the embattled State Information Technology Agency (SITA) is starting a new chapter after the conclusion of a DCDT-commissioned investigation by the Public Service Commission (PSC).
In December 2024, recognising the seriousness of the challenges facing SITA, Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Solly Malatsi formally requested the PSC to conduct an independent investigation into the entity.
The investigation examined a range of critical issues, including governance failures, leadership instability, internal infighting, and weak accountability and decision-making processes.
Further, it probed allegations of procurement irregularities, corruption and the approval of irregular contracts, as well as the high turnover in executive leadership that has contributed to organisational instability.
The PSC, having concluded the investigation, formally handed over the report to Malatsi on Monday.
