Airports Company South Africa has placed its Chief Information Officer on precautionary suspension following evidence of misconduct related to the biometric and digital identity technology project.
“This was indeed true based on the information we had at the time and statements issued by those involved in the project,” the statement reads. In May 2022, ACSA initiated a procurement process for the Automated Border Control project, including e-Gates and single token systems, for a 60-month period.
