Fin24 reports that mobile operator Cell C says it will allow the law to take its course in the punishment of a former executive who was arrested on Friday for alleged fraud and corruption involving a tender scam worth approximately R64 million.
The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) reported on Friday that they had arrested a 44-year-old man who was an IT manager at a mobile network service provider in Germiston. Cell C confirmed that the man in question was its former executive, Mohamed Ismail Adamjee. The operator said it had acted swiftly when an incident of apparent collusion came to its attention as it has a zero-tolerance policy towards illegal or unethical activity. "Cell C is fully supporting the authorities in the case and will allow the law to take its course," the company indicated in a statement. The Hawks said that during the period 2012 to 2019, Adamjee allegedly colluded with a director of another company contracted to provide IT and network services at Cell C. "They reportedly inflated invoices, which resulted in an actual loss of over R64 million to the mobile network provider," the Hawks advised. The organisation’s investigation started in 2020 following an internal audit by Cell C. It said its investigation was continuing and more arrests were expected.
