Disgraced Jooste has maintained his innocence throughout one of the biggest financial scandals.
It has vowed to continue to assist the Hawks and the National Prosecuting Authority with any investigations they may have under way.
He believed that the collapse in the Steinhoff share price could have been avoided if the board allowed him to fire Deloitte and replace it with a new auditing company that was willing to sign-off the financial results. Till his death, Jooste blamed Austrian businessman Andreas Seifert for causing all the troubles.
“We still do not know what happened at Steinhoff, there was a very expensive PWC report it ran into 3 000 pages therefore it is now time for the report so that we can have more insight to what happened at Steinhoff,” says Professor Jannie Rassouw from Wits Business School.
