American tech titan faces South African blacklisting over botched R822-million tender

The Special Investigating Unit says it has begun the process to blacklist Oracle, blocking the company from doing business with the government.

“We two disciplinary referrals and we have issued one blacklisting referral letter to National treasury,” Lekgetho stated.Last year, the SIU told Scopa that after eight years, all Treasury had to show for its R822 million was a single computer running a prototype system somewhere in Pietermaritzburg.

After thorough review, the SIU informed Treasury on 22 of March 2024 that it still hold the same view — that the tender was irregular and must be set aside. Besides Oracle’s own database technology, several products the company has acquired over the years are widely used in South Africa.
