Parliament wants answers on the state pensions agency being refunded R36-million from a ghost contract

# Parliament’s portfolio committee on Public Service and Administration has expressed concern about reports on a repayment based on a ghost contract of the Government Pensions Administration Agency. According to reports, the agency paid Shula Developers, who allegedly misrepresented themselves as the landlord, 36-million-rand upfront to lease a building for its headquarters. Shula Developers has paid back the funds, but neglected to pay the four-million-rand interest it earned. The committee says it wants clarity on whether the arrangement between the agency and Shula Developers constitutes potential corruption.
