The meteoric rise of technology services company EOH was something to behold as it acquired IT- and tech-related firms at a rate of knots over the past decade or so. But with that dramatic growth came controversy. Since 2019, it has operated under intense scrutiny following revelations of dubious contracts, fraud and corruption related to its previous public sector contracting practice.

The outcomes of a 2019 ENSafrica investigation, initiated by EOH’s new board, stated that contracts were bid for and concluded below the value of the cost of delivery of the contract in order to secure the work.
