The suspended CEO of the Independent Development Trust IDT, Tebogo Malaka, has resigned ahead of a disciplinary hearing scheduled for February.
The hearing was scheduled after an independent PwC forensic report into a R836m project. The IDT, acting as an implementing agent for the health department, was tasked with rolling out oxygen plants to 55 hospitals, which the investigation uncovered as a textbook case of public sector malfeasance.
Malaka was also in the news last year after the Daily Maverick reported she had attempted to bribe a journalist with cash stuffed inside a white Dior shopping bag in an attempt to halt their reporting on her business affairs.
