Three officials who used to work at the Office of the Chief Justice have reportedly been accused of setting themselves up to benefit from a R225m IT contract, awarded to multinational media and technology company Thomson Reuters.

Three officials who used to work at the Office of the Chief Justice have reportedly been accused of setting themselves up to benefit from a R225 million IT contract, awarded to multinational media and technology company Thomson Reuters., a digital electronic case management and litigation system which was piloted at the high courts in Johannesburg and Pretoria to allow virtual hearings in the courts.

On 1 June, they started in their new positions as directors of ZA Square Consulting, acting as local partners to Thomson Reuters. They are reportedly set to earn at least R67.5 million through the subcontract. "At the appropriate time, the OCJ will inform the public on the matter. We can assure the public that the State funds relating to this matter are safe. In view of this, the OCJ will not at this stage be making further comments or providing any additional information in this regard."

According to News24 this corruption took place when Jacob Zuna was president of South Africa. I suppose it was delayed and only came up today

Our officials and money though, this country is slowly going to hell

Prosecute and ban supplier

If you do shit like this in China it's death penalty intentionally defrauding State

errolbsk I know we all probably must have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Cynthia_Neliwe1 on Twitter She guides me through and i made a return of R155,00 after a week of trading, connect with her

mahlasela_m The rot runs deep&Zondo is the corruption technocrat of the corruption empire. He is the last line of of defence.This nonsense- 'Constitutional Democracy' must be replaced by 'Parliamentary Democracy' So why elect MPs if their mandate from voters is overruled by unelected Judges

Azikhale!!!

Why use Chief Zondo's face, surely this matter predates his tenure.

Surprised? - not at all - no checks and balances!

Chief justice just step aside

Javelin throwing is the new career with public officials, I am not surprised! All of a sudden they are now working for a subcontractor of the main bidder who scored a large contract from their last employer, really?

It. Is. Not. Just. The. ANC

Black Monopoly Capital strikes again! 🤮🤮

No one is clean even though those that claim to be holier than though

Unfortunately united in corruption the anc structures will remain, obviously with the approval of the majority of South Africa's people whom are now rewarded with poverty and starvation.

Sad thing is ,this is not just public money it is taxpayers money that's being stolen.

the jig is up , it's only a matter of time till someone smarter then me connects all the dots , and boy do these dots connect , if you've been listening to Malema carefully for a while not just recently...

😂

Zimbi indaba . Silili has his CJ has his no time for friends to meet and advise each other properly. Parliament is nursing wounds. The three arms of State are having restless time. Sekuseduze

Just another day in africa

HAM TO, Ding hakte, CHINA , abhi bhi Pakistan ki campair e samaja ta hai o AMerica pe havi hai AMerica offer Kata ha ma lena chahiye har mulao AMRICA SE M IL KE MAN SAROVAR LELO INDIA DA V KHELAMERICA HATH ADAYA HAI

Zakhala zakhala zakhala

Bagudla naye ke manje u Ramaphosa zibheke ku National Conference

Probably get another comission, I recon these comission are a strategy to delay prosecutions while people stuff their mattresses ...

Is this the private sector of whom all intra-african investment should be left, to do with as they please with impunity according to chief MgoboziST Zondo's boss Thuma mina unbundling ..

Jesus, it just doesn't end.

Why would Zondo appoint Thomson Reuters though? Time to follow the money.

Yoh yoh aii cha ANC should just be oit

It seems like the state is wired to tender almost everything under the sun 🤮, multinational really ?

Is the Zondo going to be charged for lack of oversight like Ace Magashule?

Hayi kukwa hell, ngu qhu saa. Meals on wheels of justice 😂😂😂😂😂

So were there guys no feeding crucial bidding information to Thomson Reuters? Is it not more like 'tender rigging' than 'setting themselves up'

Just a little aside: some courts have had faulty recording machines since November 2021, thus seriously impeding the administration of justice , and now this.
