Minister asks AG to probe ICT conference claims

Monday, June 18, 2012

Pretoria - Communications Minister Dina Pule has asked Auditor-General Terrence Nombembe to investigate allegations related to the application of departmental funds linked to the inaugural ICT Indaba, which was recently held in Cape Town.

"The minister ... has taken note of the rumours contained in the Sunday Times about the application of departmental funds by the organisers of the inaugural ICT Indaba," the department said in a statement.

Pule said that after her discussions with Nombembe, she was convinced that any hint of impropriety would get all the necessary attention.

She was expecting to receive a report in a month.
