In my opinion, these people should be named and shamed!
SA Post Office audit delayed

An audit report on corporate governance and management issues within the South African Post Office (Sapo) has been delayed due to "matters needing verification", the Department of Communications said on Tuesday. The report, which follows an investigation into activities of Sapo's management and board members, will be released in March rather than at the end of February as had been expected, spokesperson Albi Modise said.
The investigation was initiated by Minister Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri in November following the suspension of Sapo's chief executive Khutso Mampeule. An independent company, SizweNtsaluba VSP Forensics, was appointed to handle investigations into Sapo's managers and board members regarding Sapo contracts. "The scope of the investigation was to be inclusive of, but not limited to, the allegations of all parties regarding corporate governance issues, as well as management actions," Modise said.
Matsepe-Casaburri received the first draft of the report regarding corporate governance issues last month. She is expected to receive the final report during the first week of March and "apply her mind to recommendations made". Modise said the minister "will waste no time in implementing recommendations made".
At the time of his suspension, Mampeule said he believed he was suspended "in an attempt to divert attention from my concerted effort to uproot corrupt actions" within Sapo. In October, he told Parliament that seven Sapo executives resigned or were axed in 18 months as a result of his anti-corruption drive. - Sapa
