Incompetent to the max, this won't help a lot of companies that had to close because of this incompetence.

"....R3.4-billion, which would have been paid for unverified services"

JUSSSSIS. That is what happens when you run a department like a spaza shop.

You have to wonder how much the other departments are piddling out and who is benefiting from this. Unfortunately, knowing who is behind it will do nothing other than sooth our curiosity. The culprit will simply be 're-deployed' to thieve somewhere else

They would have to be. If spaza shops wasted money like this, they'd be out of business in a week!

I can't get my head around that figure. A couple of hundred here or there is one thing but almost three and a half BILLION? That goes past incompetence and into the realms of highly organised crime.
