Mkhwebane has recommended that the conduct of the accounting officer is probed and that the matter be reported to the SAPS and the Hawks

in the awarding of a controversial asbestos housing contract.

Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane in her report says the provincial department participated in an expired contract of the Gauteng Human Settlements Department, and failed to conduct a due diligence investigation before participating in this contract. The contract for service providers to identify and remove asbestos roofs in the province has since the 2014/15 financial year drawn much controversy, with millions paid by the department remaining unaccounted for.

She says their findings also indicate that the service provider had subcontracted the contract to ORI Group at a fee of just over R21 million, while the service provider was paid R230 million.

Every PublicProtector findings in investigations in Free State, ALWAYS exonerate political heads and implicates Accounting Officers if not HOD's, with recommendations that Premier should discipline and refer matters for further investigation. Why can't PP refer matters herself?
