Transnet is taking disciplinary action against Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) chief executive Pepi Selinga and other managers ‘implicated in acts of impropriety’ the state-owned entity announced at the weekend.
This comes after Transnet appointed Bowmans attorneys earlier this year to investigate allegations of impropriety at TNPA.
The attorneys were also tasked with implementing the recommendations of a forensic report by Fundudzi Investigators that considered the award of a tender for the multipurpose terminal at the Port of Ngqura.
“Bowmans have now concluded their investigations. In a meeting held on 21 June 2024 and based on legal advice and the recommendations from the investigations, Transnet’s Board of Directors and the TNPA Board agreed to issue disciplinary charges against TNPA chief executive Mr Pepi Selinga,” Transnet said.
“On the same day, Transnet also instituted disciplinary charges against managers implicated in the Fundudzi report and other managers at TNPA implicated in acts of impropriety.”
External independent chairpersons have been appointed to chair the disciplinary proceedings.
“Transnet will ensure this matter is dealt with swiftly and with the necessary sensitivity. Any further updates will be communicated in due course,” Transnet said.
