The two banks cited reputational risk as their reason for cutting ties with the embattled firm after it was implicated in corrupt activities at the ongoing state capture inquiry. In 2006, the president issued a proclamation to probe allegations of corrupt activities in the awarding of contracts to Bosasa, namely for nutritional services, access control, fencing and televisions, said Masutha. Following the probe, the SIU drafted a report in 2009 on alleged tender rigging involving Bosasa and senior correctional services officials, including the then national commissioner Linda Mti and CFO Patrick Gillingham.
“With hindsight the SIU might see that there was a gap in their recommendations. Without seeking to exonerate the department, the SIU report could have been more helpful," said Masutha.

Minister Michael Masutha blames SIU for failure to recover money from BosasaJustice and correctional services minister Michael Masutha says the SIU recommendation on Bosasa lacked specifics, leaving them with no choice but to let the company off the hook for a decade.

He's as incompetent as they get. Don't trust this skabega Even Public Works officials implicated in the Nkandla scandal were let off the hook for inflating costs. The outcome of their disciplinary hearings were made confidential because of the alleged confidentiality 'clause'. Some much for justice.
