South Africa’s biggest airport operator suspends IT chief

The Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has placed its chief information officer (CIO), Mthokozisi Mncwabe, on precautionary suspension over wrongdoing relating to the biometric and digital identity technology project.

His suspension took effect on Thursday, 8 August 2024. ACSA said a preliminary investigation unearthed indications of malfeasance surrounding the project.
 
"Mthokozisi Mncwabe joins Airports Company South Africa after serving as group CIO at the South African Post Office (SAPO) and Postbank for four years. In his role at the Post Office, his responsibility was to drive the national postal service's strategic technology vision, business revenue development, as well as management of business operations. "

The issues related to the procurement process for the Automated Border Control (ABC) project, e-gates, and single tokens for 60 months. ACSA appointed French multinational tech company Idemia with a contract value of R115 million.

However, the contract required at least 30% black ownership, and as such, Idemia had a teaming agreement with local company InfoVerge as its partner.

So, no interest in the fact that there's prima facie evidence of wrongdoing in awarding of the tender?

Thats just Mantashe's belly, no need to be rude about it. /s

Finally we have a suspect for the guy pissing on the seat at Luthuli House. Even assuming he has the biggest BBC, doubt when last he saw it. Thats prima facie evidence.
