This after the SIU filed 40 lawsuits to the tune of R5.1 billion in the Special Tribunal to recover the money stolen through corruption.
Justice Minister Ronald Lamola has called on the Special Investigating Unit to clamp down on corruption as it is pursuing billions of rand in the courts for PPE contracts irregularly awarded.
In the annual report tabled in Parliament, Lamola said the SIU wants to recover the money stolen through PPE and to hold those behind corruption accountable. ’’Through this process, the SIU seeks to have PPE contracts, which were irregularly awarded by government departments, municipalities and state-owned entities, declared unlawful and invalid, and to recover financial losses suffered by the State from those responsible,” said Lamola.
