Finance Minister Enoch Gondongwana has placed the CEO of the Government Pension Administration Agency (GPAA), Kedibone Madiehe, on precautionary suspension with full pay pending investigation into procurement irregularities.
“The disciplinary action was implemented in accordance with President’s Minute No 191 of 2025 and the applicable Disciplinary Code for Senior Management Services, which delegated authority to the Minister of Finance to institute disciplinary processes concerning these allegations. This includes precautionary suspension, as well as any subsequent steps.” the National Treasury said on Monday.
Godongwana has been under pressure to act against Madiehe, following a series of revelations of tender irregularities, with the Democratic Alliance calling for her outright dismissal.
The DA will use its position as chairperson of the Public Service and Administration Portfolio Committee to call the PGAA to account together with the Public Investment Commissioners (PIC), which invests government employee pensions and other funds.
