From the article:

South African authorities say they plan to have the first component of the Automated Biometrics Identification System (ABIS) in place in the course of this calendar year after a review of an audit report into an initial tender process for the project would have been completed.  

 

According to ITWeb, the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) recently received a report of a forensic investigation into the tender process for the biometric system, which was awarded in 2015 to local technology services company EOH Holdings.
