## Resource

A former Free State Treasury CFO, Monaheng Mokoena, resigned amid an SIU probe into dodgy PPE contracts — yet less than a year later, he landed a top job at the Compensation Fund, managing 150 billion rand. The SIU found evidence of misconduct but couldn’t pursue action since he’d already quit. They didn’t know about his new role and didn’t notify the relevant departments. The Compensation Fund insists it vetted him properly. Meanwhile, the Hawks are reviewing criminal referrals, but no charges have been laid — nearly six years after the scandal first erupted. Civil society is now demanding accountability, especially as the Fund itself faces fresh governance and procurement scrutiny.
