R2K 2014 Whistleblowers: Segomoco Sibambato

Segomoco Sibambato, a former manager at the Transport, Education and Training Authority, was fired after raising concerns that the CEO had flouted procurement policies. The procurement of services from Pretoria-based IT firm Mondial was irregular because the tender was not put to open bidding or closed bidding.
