Steinhoff was once a top performer on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange - and many investors wanted a piece of it but in December 2017 that all changed when auditors picked up extensive rot in the company’s books.It’s been described as the biggest corporate scandal in South Africa to date, but almost three years later, no one knows what happened and what went wrong.
It’s understood, PricewaterhouseCoopers is dealing with more than 3-million pages of evidence and given the billions lost and many walking around freely without being held accountable, the NPA says due to the complexity of the matter, time is needed to strengthen the case. Meanwhile, the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants says it’s still investigating the matter, but Jooste’s membership remains suspended, pending finalisation of disciplinary proceedings.Watch the video above for more on this story.
