• EOH's head of social and ethics committee Anuschka Bogdanov has resigned, with immediate effect.
• No reasons were given for Bogdanov stepping down, but a search for her successor is underway.
• Last year a probe into allegations of corruption uncovered nearly a R1 billion in fraudulent transactions.

EOH [JSE: EOH], one of Africa's largest ICT service providers, has announced that the chairperson of its social an ethics committee, Anuschka Bogdanov, has resigned with immediate effect.

A search for her successor is underway, EOH said in a notice to shareholders on Tuesday.

No reasons have been given for Bogdanov's resignation, but EOH's board of directors wished her well on her future endeavours. Bogdanov was also a lead independent non-executive director of the company,  appointed on 20 June 2019.

Bogdanov's careers included roles at Absa Corporate and Merchant Bank, Fitch Ratings and Nedbank, where she played an "instrumental" role in improving the bank's risk management capabilities, EOH said in a biography on its website.

Bogdanov had previously worked at the Development Bank of Southern Africa, before establishing her own risk management consulting firm.

Last year a probe into allegations of corruption at EOH uncovered nearly R1 billion lost in fraudulent transactions.

The probe was launched after the company was barred from reselling Microsoft software licences in SA amid reports that a whistleblower filed a complaint with US market authorities about alleged corruption in a South African department of defence software deal. This resulted in a board shake-up with some executives resigning.
