Oscar Maripane

Oscar Maripane serves as the Chief Financial Officer of the Gauteng Gambling Board (GGB), the provincial regulator responsible for licensing and oversight of casinos, betting shops, and online gambling in South Africa’s most populous province. Based in Johannesburg, he oversees the board’s financial management, budgeting, and compliance with the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA).

In May 2025, following an independent forensic investigation, Maripane was suspended with immediate effect pending an internal disciplinary process, implicated in procurement irregularities and financial governance failures. His LinkedIn profile had previously listed him as Acting CFO, suggesting a transition into the role before being confirmed as CFO on the GGB’s official senior management page.

Maripane’s professional background includes financial leadership within the public sector, though detailed prior career history is not publicly available. His suspension has drawn attention to governance challenges at the GGB, with the CEO also being dismissed amid similar allegations.
