| 2025-05-31 | Credible allegation | IDT CEO appointment whitewash allegation | amaBhungane reported that former Public Works Minister Sihle Zikalala downplayed findings of an investigation he had commissioned, enabling Tebogo Malaka's appointment as IDT CEO despite a lease-scandal finding. This is recorded as a credible media allegation about governance and appointment integrity, not as a formal finding against Zikalala. | amaBhungane IDT appointment investigation | Medium | +15 |
| 2025-05-31 | Cleared or contextualised matter | Daily Maverick republication/context | Daily Maverick published the same amaBhungane IDT investigation. This is retained as corroborating media context for the same matter and is not double counted. | Daily Maverick IDT appointment report | Medium | 0 |
Methodology note
Integrity Index uses a risk-score model where higher scores indicate higher publicly documented integrity risk. For the Parliament page, profiles are included only where the person is listed in the official National Assembly member directory. Evidence scores are added when a source-linked item has been reviewed against the published Scoring Criteria and Scoring Sources pages.
