The telco loses an exception application in connection with the alleged irregular supply of devices to the Limpopo Department of Health.
Telecommunications giant MTN has lost a Special Tribunal exception application in connection with the alleged irregular supply of mobile devices for COVID-19 screening to the Limpopo Department of Health.
“The SIU’s investigation also found that the former head of the department, Dr Thokozani Florence Mhlongo, as the accounting officer, allegedly exposed the department to a wasteful expenditure when she authorised the procurement and payment of 10 000 cellphones to the value of R10 million for COVID-19 household screening.
So far, the SIU says it has successfully interdicted the pension payout of Dr Mhlongo after she resigned from her position as head of the department in the face of disciplinary action.
