Johannesburg - The Communication Workers' Union will meet with Vodacom on
Friday to discuss matters including alleged corruption and
nepotism.
"We are meeting them tomorrow morning at their offices in
Midrand," union spokesperson Matankana Mothapo told Sapa on Thursday.
"Some of the issues relate to media reports alleging corruption
and nepotism and the release of a KPMG report concerning the
management of funds in that institution."
The CWU said it was "disgusted" about reports alleging
management of funds by the company's former chief executive
officer, Alan Knott-Craig.
It called on the "upper echelons of Vodacom" to make the KPMG
forensic report public.
Mothapo called Communications Minister Siphiwe Nyanda to set up
an independent commission of enquiry into the matter.
"And if the former CEO indeed was involved in these illegal
processes of issuing tenders to his son and nieces without
following proper procedures, he must face the music and be dealt
with."
The Sunday Times reported at the weekend that the KPMG forensic
audit report was compiled after two former Vodacom employees
accused Knott-Craig of exploiting company resources for the benefit
of family members.
The independent report was commissioned by Vodacom shareholders
in 2008, company spokesperson Richard Boorman said earlier this week.
