DATE OF PUBLICATION OF INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER: 12/08/2011
(INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER 23 OF 2011)
Mrs J C Moloi-Moropa (ANC) to ask the Minister of Higher Education and
Training:
Whether, with reference to corruption for which senior managers of the
Public Service Sector Education and Training Authority (PSETA) are
reportedly serving prison sentences, the funds for which they had been
arrested have been recovered; if not, why not; if so, how much?
NW2225E
REPLY:
In 2005 the PSETA suffered financial loss due to mismanagement by the then
Finance Manager Mr. Munyai, who was employed on a contract basis for the
implementation of the NSF approved project.
The DPSA managed the process of the apprehension and sentencing of the
Finance Manager who is currently serving 10 year imprisonment with effect
from 2007 after being convicted on 38 counts of fraud and theft. The
investigation/sentencing was done in conjunction with the SAPS Commercial
Crimes Unit and Asset Forfeiture Unit,
A forensic investigation was commissioned to quantify the full extent of
the financial mismanagement and concluded that at least R1,419,920 was
fraudulently taken from PSETAâs bank account and of this amount only
R320,022 was recovered from Mr. Munyai which was paid back accordingly.
The case has been referred to the Special Investigating Unit for further
investigation of other parties including providers and former PSETA
officials that could have been involved in the mismanagement of the NSF
project.
The above investigation is not finalised and the relevant authorities will
be informed of the outcome thereof once it is concluded.
