The Democratic Alliance wants Trade, Industry and Competition Minister Parks Tau to expedite an investigation into governance issues at the SA Bureau of Standards (SABS).
This follows the party’s trade, industry and competition spokesperson, Toby Chance, receiving another account from a whistleblower. It was not signed.
Chance said that based on the account, it was clear that the rot at the SABS was even deeper than previously exposed.
He said on Tuesday that the letter provided a detailed account of the long-standing governance failures, naming both current and former employees, board members and public officials implicated in years of dysfunction.
It confirmed serious internal divisions and ongoing power struggles within the institution and not just isolated issues.
TSU International is currently investigating SABS management. The deadline for the investigation is 31 May.
Chance said the most recent letter had been sent to Tau and several key stakeholders.
