Leaked Absa report may be used 'for nefarious purposes', warns Madonsela
'I don't know why it has been leaked at this stage. We had promised Absa and the Reserve Bank that we would share the provisional report with them quietly'
A leaked provisional public protector report into Absa could possibly be used for “nefarious” purposes, former public protector Thuli Madonsela said on Monday. While Madonsela refused to comment on whether the recommendations in the provisional report were hers and suggestions that the report may have been altered, she had “views” on the matter but would not comment publicly. “I don't know why it has been leaked at this stage. We had promised Absa and the Reserve Bank that we would share the provisional report with them quietly,” Madonsela said during a question and answer session at the Cape Town press club.
