State Information Technology Agency’s Road to Recovery

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Magatho Mello, Managing Director of the State Information Technology Agency (SITA), about the agency’s efforts to rebuild after an investigation found widespread governance, procurement and administrative problems between 2020 and 2025. Mello took office in April under a newly constituted board and is now tasked with implementing a recovery plan and restoring confidence in SITA. With the GovTech conference in Durban wrapping up, the discussion looks at SITA’s role in modernising government technology, improving service delivery and rebuilding its credibility as a trusted technology partner to the state.    702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.   Bongani makes sense of the news, interviews the key newsmakers of the day, and holds those in power to account on your behalf.
