Johannesburg - The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) on Sunday denied all allegations of corruption and fraud made by a former employee in parliament.
"The CCMA is neither corrupt nor fraudulent. Management irregularities have largely been historic or of a technical nature and they have been rectified," CCMA governing body chairperson Tanya Cohen told a media conference in Johannesburg.
These irregularities had had no impact on the CCMA's delivery against its mandate, according to Cohen.
According to the CCMA, two audit reports found such allegations to be without substance.
"It distresses us that baseless and false allegations have been manipulated to cast the CCMA in a bad light."
The CCMA will appear before parliament's portfolio committee on labour this week in an attempt to defend its reputation.
Mothibedi Mokoena, formerly of the CCMA audit unit, reportedly told the committee on Monday that he and two colleagues were fired after alerting labour director general Jimmy Manyi to alleged fraud and tender irregularities in the CCMA.
