The FPB in response to a media query from TVwithThinus confirmed his suspension.
"FPB CEO Dr Mashilo Boloka has been placed on precautionary suspension with effect from 7 August 2024 until further notice."
"The matter of the precautionary suspension of the FPB CEO is currently being handled by the FPB council in terms of its policies and procedures.
