Whistle-blower allegations have now led to Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) chief financial officer (CFO) Liana Moolman also being placed on precautionary suspension.

Her suspension follows that of CEO Makhosini Msibi, who was placed on precautionary suspension effective from 1 July, amid a host of serious allegations made by a whistle-blower.

Msibi has since launched a high court application to have his suspension reviewed and set aside.

RTMC spokesperson Simon Zwane confirmed Moolman was placed on precautionary suspension, effective from Monday last week, with the suspension authorised by interim RTMC CEO Refilwe Mongale.

Zwane said Moolman's suspension "is related to the whistle-blower reports that have been in circulation the past few months".

"This is to allow internal investigation processes to proceed fairly without prejudice," he said.

"There is currently a forensic investigation at the RTMC. The investigation is still underway."

The RTMC has appointed KPMG to conduct the forensic investigation.
