Fired official fights for pension payout

Masingita Honest Chauke was the department’s acting deputy director of land use and soil management when he was fired at the end of January 2015.

When he arrived at the GEPF’s office on December 11, he was told that the department withdrew his entire pension, amounting to R562 915. The department paid R96 824 to the SA Revenue Service and, according to Chauke, misappropriated the rest – a sum of R466 091. Chauke said he was suspended in 2012 as a result of allegations of fraud and financial mismanagement.

In its court papers, the department said it was “bizarre” that Chauke would approach the court on an urgent basis when the department’s personnel were away for the festive season. The GEPF office only reopened on January 2.
