Johannesburg Property Company (JPC) CEO Helen Botes and CFO Imraan Bhamjee are due to return to their posts soon despite a Special Investigating Unit (SIU) report revealing evidence that the pair may be guilty of financial misconduct regarding deep cleaning and sanitising contracts awarded during the coronavirus pandemic.
Botes and Bhamjee were suspended in September 2020 after investigations into the JPC contracts were tabled in the Johannesburg City Council.
In March 2021, the SIU informed acting Johannesburg City manager Floyd Brink and acting JPC CEO Asanda Majova it had completed its investigation into the contracts and found evidence that Botes, Bhamjee and three other officials may be guilty of financial misconduct.
