Overview

  • Dimpane told the ad hoc committee her budgeting note urged an Organisation Development work study on a permanent PKTT rather than dissolution.
  • She said she never authorised the note’s use as evidence and had no discussions with suspended minister Senzo Mchunu about the PKTT budget.
  • She reported R435 million in PKTT spending since 2018, driven largely by travel, subsistence and overtime costs.
  • The committee is convening at Kgoši Mampuru Correctional Centre to take testimony, including from detained tender-linked suspect Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala.
  • Dimpane called the Medicare24 contract tied to Matlala an embarrassment, noting AGSA flagged R650 million in irregular 2024/25 SAPS spending with R466 million from that tender, and said a forensic probe is in its reporting phase.
