Adams increased allocations without legal authority
An internal disciplinary hearing has found Gregory Wayne Adams, the chief executive of a government-owned sector education and training authority (Seta), guilty in relation to more than R1.2-billion in irregular expenditure.
The verdict, delivered on Tuesday, comes after a marathon disciplinary process, which started when the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority (merSeta) suspended Adams in 2022 after a forensic audit returned a raft of damning findings against him.
According to the report, which Sunday World has seen, Adams was found guilty of charges two, three, four (count two) and seven. However, he was not guilty in relation to charges four (count one), five and six.
The hearing, held at Afsa Chambers in Sandton, Johannesburg, was chaired by Adv Lindi Nkosi-Thomas.
Charge two is related to the irregular increase in the Joint Education Trust’s (JET) discretionary grant.
