Two forensic investigations into the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority have found that the body spent millions of rand on an app that never worked,The reports also found that suspended CEO Mamodupi Mohlala disregarded the appropriate supply chain management processes when she procured the app.
“It is clear from the information provided to us … that the application is not functional. As a result, RBT’s performance in relation to the agreement is defective and, as such, there is no basis for the PPRA to make any further payments to RBT,” said the report. “This is because the proposal did not meet the requirements set out in the practice note, nor did the PPRA undertake the evaluation process set out therein. It is on this basis that the PPRA was required to reject the proposal by RBT.”“I deny all the allegations of procurement irregularities resulting in irregular and/or fruitless and wasteful expenditure. I will respond to all these claims in the appropriate forum or at the disciplinary hearing.
The investigators found that this has incurred R160,801 in penalties for not paying these contributions.
