City Press reports that Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande has ordered an investigation into allegations that Tebogo Mmotla, acting CEO of the Mining Qualifications Authority (MQA), faked his qualification.
The MQA is one of SA’s 21 sector education and training authorities (Setas). Disgruntled employees wrote anonymously to Nzimande’s director-general earlier this month asking him to have Mmotla suspended for having lied about his qualification when applying for the Seta’s COO post in 2014. Mmotla apparently claimed that he completed the SA Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) programme in strategic management and corporate governance. But when the internal auditors obtained a statement of credits from SAICA, it showed he never completed the course. Approached for comment, Mmotla declined to say anything. The board met nine days ago to discuss Mmotla’s suspension, but he remains in his job.
