More staff at property sector regulator to be suspended, charged
Ngubeni declined to mention the names of the managers and staff implicated because they have not yet been formally notified of the findings of the forensic investigation and the implications of these findings for them.PPRA board member Pamela Makhubela said the board has decided to refer criminal allegations, including but not limited to fraudulent activities, to the law enforcement agency.
The PPRA is now faced with fruitless and wasteful expenditure for this “outright dereliction of duty” by Mohlala, she said.Makhubela said Mohlala signed off the appointment of individuals to positions that were not on the PPRA’s organisational structure and not included in the approved budget and these appointments “are irregular appointments”.
“There is to date a lack of documentary evidence to verify that the recruitment and selection process was followed during the appointments of key positions approved by the suspended CEO.”Makhubela said the PPRA incurred a loss due to the misrepresentation of qualifications and paid excessive salaries to undeserving individuals, but will recover this loss from the individuals involved in these misrepresentations.
The delegation’s visit was for two days, 15 and 16 March 2022, but the catering supplier’s invoice was made out for three days;Mohlala allegedly ignored queries from the PPRA finance department about the number of people who were catered for and allegedly gave instructions that the invoice for 120 people be paid in favour of the supplier.No record of delivery was established;
There is an element of fraud and collusion on the part of the supply chain management officer and the supplier.
