The EFF has requested an urgent meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance following the suspension of Patrick Dlamini, the CEO of the Public Investment Corporation (PIC).

The EFF wants clarity on how the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Dlamini, was suspended.

This was after the PIC board on Monday announced the precautionary suspension of Dlamini, after the majority of the board members voted in favour of his immediate suspension.

Chief Financial Officer, Batandwa Damayi, has since been announced as acting CEO.

This followed a whistle-blower report submitted in June 2026, which accused Dlamini of unethical conduct and governance failures.
