The office of the chief justice (OCJ) said on Friday that an internal review of all its supply chain management processes is likely to be completed within the next three months.
It had decided to take this step after the revelation that a company owned by former officials of the OCJ was appointed as a subcontractor in a R225m IT contract awarded by the OCJ.
The three — former CFO Casper Coetzer, former spokesperson and chief director of court administration Nathi Mncube and former case management director Yvonne van Niekerk — all resigned last month and served their last day on the job on May 31. “This is being done to ensure that ways are found to enhance the OCJ’s technical capacity to further strengthen internal controls in the area of SCM [supply chain management],” the OCJ said in a statement on Friday.
