The organisation has accused three former senior officials in the office of the chief justice of a ‘serious conflict of interest’
The office of the chief justice is being grilled on social media regarding allegations against three of its former employees, who allegedly helped set up a multimillion-rand IT tender before resigning.
The Sunday Times is reporting that former CFO Casper Coetzer, former spokesperson and chief director of court administration Nathi Mncube and former case management director Yvonne van Niekerk helped set up the contract before resigning last month.
Three officials who used to work at the Office of the Chief Justice (OCJ) have reportedly been accused of setting themselves up to benefit from a R225m IT contract, awarded to multinational media and technology company Thomson Reuters.
Thomson Reuters is putting its CaseLines subcontract with three former employees of the Office of the Chief Justice on hold and has launched an investigation. The three say they have done nothing wrong.
