Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba has landed himself in hot water over an unpaid invoice which has ballooned to R794 million.
According to court documents, which have been reported on by IOL, Gigaba is being held to account for an invoice received by his department back in 2009. The R67 million invoice owed to information technology company, Double Ring Trading, which is currently undergoing liquidation, soared to R794 million. Liquidators handling the case want Gigaba to be held responsible for the full amount.
Malusi Gigaba must appear before a court-appointed presiding officer
SAF Trust, the liquidators in charge of recouping costs owed to Double Ring Trading, has approached the courts in order to have Gigaba subpoenaed. Earlier this week, the South Gauteng High Court granted the receivers their request. Gigaba will have to appear before the court-appointed presiding officer later this month and explain, through the use of financial statements of documents, why the Department of Home Affairs failed to pay the initial invoice.

This non-payment effectively crippled Double Ring Trading, resulting in the loss of 150 jobs.
According to court documents, if Gigaba fails to appear before the presiding officer he could face real time behind bars.
Double Ring Trading and Home Affairs go way back
In 2005, Double Ring Trading was contracted by the Department of Home Affairs to oversee and implement an effective information technology system in Tshwane, referred to as the information and communication technology (ICT) hub.
Moeketsi Nonyana, the former Home Affairs manager who was tasked with overseeing the ICT project, said, under oath, that Double Ring Trading had complied fully with its contractual obligations. Nonyana’s sworn affidavit completely contradicts the official reasoning later tabled by the department.
