The Labour Court in Johannesburg this week heard testimony of multi-million rand corruption at cellphone company MTN, according to a report on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The case revolves around an allegation by former MTN legal adviser Violet Magagane-Malao that the company was sweeping her claims of corruption under the carpet.<\/p>\n

She said she was retrenched shortly after tipping off vice-president Ignatius Sehoole of claims that a senior official, corporate services boss Robert Madzonga, signed off on R12.2 million in dodgy invoices.<\/p>\n

Sehoole asked PricewaterhouseCoopers to investigate her claims.<\/p>\n

The court heard that a 73-page PWC forensic report found alarming evidence of corruption.<\/p>\n

MTN told the Sunday Times that Madzonga would \u201cargue his case in court\u201d and would not comment to the newspaper.<\/p>\n
