The head of communications and a TEC member, Maja approved payments to Digital Vibes which were not in line with the National Treasury's approved budget.contravened the provisions of section 45 of the PFMA in that he as a member of the TEC, grossly negligently failed to apply the required evaluation criteria correctly, fairly and consistently,” says the report.
These contraventions led Brandswell, a company that was competing with Digital Vibes for the tender, to “fail” to achieve the 60% compliance threshold required before the rewarding of the tender.The former TEC member and chief director authorised an irregular payment of R35m to Digital Vibes on March 24 2020. This payment was not in line with the National Treasury's approved amount, resulting in unauthorised/irregular payments to the company.
The former assistant of Pardesi and administration clerk at the national department of health contravened the PFMA by approving payments of over R69m to Digital Vibes despite not having the authority to do so. “No evidence indicating that she had the necessary delegations of authority to approve amounts paid to Digital Vibes, was obtained,” says the report.
