Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has dismissed Kedibone Madiehe as CEO of the Government Pensions Administration Agency (GPAA), effective from September 8, following a sanction of dismissal pronounced by the chairperson of a disciplinary hearing.

The disciplinary process arose from the findings of several forensic investigations initiated by the National Treasury in response to allegations, whistle-blower tip-offs and media reports related to alleged irregularities involving the GPAA’s procurement of new head office accommodation, a security services contract and corporate uniforms for the GPAA.

National Treasury says the disciplinary hearing, chaired by a retired High Court judge and with legal representation for both Madiehe and the GPAA, commenced on February 2 and culminated in a guilty finding delivered on August 24.

A sanction of dismissal was ultimately pronounced on September 7.

“A decision of this nature, and the sanction that accompanies it, is never taken lightly. However, the evidence from the investigation and the seriousness of the transgressions required a proportionate sanction,” Godongwana says.

GPAA corporate services deputy director-general Job Mngomezulu will continue to serve as the acting CEO until the requisite processes to fill the post have been completed.
