Tongaat is in the middle of a revival strategy after an accounting scandal compounded a weak operational performance in recent years

Finance minister Tito Mboweni said he will review the appointment of a former director of Tongaat Hulett, a former corporate heavyweight that was brought to the brink amid one of SA's biggest accounting scandals, to head up the country’s main regulator of audit firms.

The Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors’s announcement in April that it planned to name Jenitha John, a former FirstRand executive, as its CEO, has attracted controversy due to her previous role as chair of Tongaat’s audit committee in the nine years to March 2019.A subscription helps you enjoy the best of our business content every day along with benefits such as exclusive Financial Times articles, ProfileData financial data, and digital access to the Sunday Times and Times Select.

Labour minister concerned with large number of non-compliant employersLabour Minister Thulas Nxesi says labour inspectors have found low compliance with certain employers to safety measures to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. The Ministry must stop being concerned and apply the Law against employers who are non-compliant. He should also be concerned about IIF not processing employee claims. They’re only handling employee TERS claims. Regular UIF and maternity claims are sitting unattended. And they’re complaining not enough employers are submitting claims. Disgusting. And no one is raising this.

Fantastic! Do NOT let them get away with this! The State is covering this up! I wish those lawyers find all the courage to persue this. Conduct a full review starting with the post moterm report! I hope with all my heart that his family gets the justice they deserve.
