Minister allegedly involved in R350-million tender dispute
International software company Micro Focus prematurely dropped its South African partner, Afrocentric, awarding the $25-million (about R366 million) contract to a company named X Telecoms instead.
According to a report in the Sunday Times, Micro Focus told the State Information Technology Agency (Sita) that this move was made at the suggestion of deputy communications minister Pinky Kekana.
