Minister ‘considering’ Post Office report
A communications department statement said the minister might later release the key findings, “taking into account not to undermine legal processes against some people, where it is called for”.
It said the minister would “ensure the manner in which the report is handled should not raise undue public concern about the credibility of the South African Post Office or impugn the integrity of either the board or managers when there is no evidence”.
Post Office CEO Khutso Mampeule was suspended last November for allegedly “undermining the authority of the board” when he laid a criminal complaint against his predecessor, Maanda Manyatshe, over a disputed tender.
Mampeule laid a complaint with the police against Manyatshe, two other former Post Office executives, and Vision Design House (VDH).
The complaint alleged that Manyatshe and other staff were behind the irregular appointment of VDH to create a “new image” for the Post Office at a price of R99,5m.
This resulted in Manyatshe’s resignation as MD of MTN, apparently to “clear his name”. He also lashed back, suing the Post Office for R100m.
