A disciplinary hearing into the conduct of Government Pensions Administration Agency (GPAA) Chief Executive Officer Kedibone Madiehe has commenced today.
Madiehe was placed on precautionary suspension in August following allegations of what the finance department described at the time as “serious misconduct concerning high-value procurement transactions”.
Now, the department said forensic investigations into allegations of “governance irregularities and financial misconduct” within the GPAA have been concluded.
“Madiehe has been formally furnished with the investigative findings and the related charges that will form the basis of the proceedings.
“The public and other stakeholders are advised that the proceedings are being conducted in strict accordance with South African labour laws and established internal protocols.
“To safeguard the legal integrity of the hearings and to ensure that the rights of the suspended CEO are not unduly prejudiced, the specific terms of reference or the full investigative reports will not be published at this stage,” National Treasury explained.
Madiehe was placed on suspension by Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana in line with the President’s Minute No 191 of 2025 and the applicable Disciplinary Code for Senior Management Services.
“The Ministry and the GPAA leadership remain committed to transparency and the restoration of ethical governance.
“The primary focus of this process is to ensure full accountability and to restore confidence in the governance of the agency,” the department concluded. – SAnews.gov.za
