Johannesburg - Anonymous employees have mounted a well-orchestrated campaign to bring Transnet into disrepute, the transport parastatal said on Friday.
This followed an article in Business Report alleging there were procurement irregularities at the utility resulting in it overspending by R5.4bn, acting group CEO Chris Wells told a media briefing in Johannesburg.
"The impression the article gave that Transnet lacked corporate governance processes couldn't be further from the truth," Wells said.
Turning to the credibility of the dossier handed to Business Report, Wells said there was "clear evidence" that emails contained in the document had been "doctored".
"There was an attempt to create the impression that Transnet Capital Projects (TCP) was not managing engineering, procurement and construction management costs and had something to hide," Wells said.
This demonstrated that the dossier authors had acted "with malice and a lack of integrity" and that their clear agenda was to discredit Transnet's executive management.
However, Wells said Transnet rejected the allegations of non-compliance with capital expenditure controls and expressed concern at what he called "the malicious manipulation of information".
