He says the report concluded that there was a concerted and intentional release and dissemination of confidential information and documentation to the media.However, Acting Public Protector, Kholeka Gcaleka, cleared him of wrongdoing and found that despite Borotho not having the requisite qualification, Gordhan sought approval from the Department of Public Services and Administration.

Gordhan says the investigation, which cost R281 000, had found that one official had shared their password with another who then leaked the information to the media. He says the report recommended that disciplinary action be considered against this official who shared her password but that she had left the department a while back and it was therefore impossible to act against her.Share article

These jokes write themselves!

Pravin, a flop. Not ashamed to conceal such corruption

The laws of this country must be changed to make it easy to prosecute a politicians. They do all these nonsense knowing very well that they will never be held accountable in the court of law. We must take a leaf from Asian countries regarding prosecution of corruption by...

Do national departments have chief of staff positions? I always thought it's either DDG/ DG? Any take?

He is busy with nonsense while he is failing dismally to do what he was actually appointed to do. Massively useless.

jamnandas like RamaphosaMustGo Will never lose a case in South Africa

NthabisengBorotho does not have the required qualifications? This is irregular! Bravo to the person who stole the password and let the public know about these shenanigans. This is the same as Eskom's hairdresser board members. Gordan fire her and then yourself CyrilRamaphosa

Pathetic useless spine-free minister, this Pravin chap. Super useless pravingordhan PravinGordhanZA MYANC GovernmentZA CyrilRamaphosa

This one is going to drive SA straight into hell 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿...

10 million contract. 7 million for the cadres 3 million for the consultants

Wasteful expenditure!!!!

And who is paying for this!

Not even ashamed to say such

Meaning there's truth in leaked information, otherwise he wouldn't be wasting resources looking for the leakage. 🤔 RSASIU

Waste of money. Has he attended to the problem besides the investigations?

Too much from the so called “clean government” 😂😂

Instead of applauding the whistle-blower for exposing the minisister for hiring someone without requisite qualificatiins, the minister probes the leaking of information. Mehlolo 🤞🤞🤞

This indian poes must be fired when we elect a new President. Tired of his incompetence and nonchalant arrogance. Really? Chief of Staff when we have no electricity, what a poes🚮🚮🚮🚮

President Pravin Godhan' does she have qualifications like everybody else to be chief of staff' that's the QUESTION

Hebanna he must fokof this one

Leakage,so even if it's truth it doesn't matter as long as Joshua doore has his way

Amen! I thought Pravin would hire a consulting company to come up with an urgent plan on how to revive this SOEs, not this nonsense he is telling us.

Pravin's focus is misguided. He is worried about nonsense

When theres a power crisis in this country
