Transnet to take disciplinary action against some TNPA employees
State-owned Transnet announced at the weekend that law firm Bowmans had concluded its investigation into allegations of impropriety at Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA).
Transnet also appointed Bowmans to assist with implementing the recommendations of a forensic report by Fundudzi Investigators, which considered the award of a tender for the multipurpose terminal at the Port of Ngqura, in the Eastern Cape.
In a meeting held on June 21 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 CE Pepi Silinga, Transnet reported in a June 22 media statement.
On the same day, Transnet said it also instituted disciplinary charges against managers implicated in the Fundudzi report and other managers at TNPA allegedly implicated in acts of impropriety.
The entity notes that external independent chairpersons have been appointed to chair all 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,” the entity said.
