Further investigations The SIU’s presentation to Scopa reads: “From the documents seized, it is clear that Lepelle Northern Water continued with the services of the contractor after they received the summons. The contract value went from R2.2 billion to R3.2 billion.” “The corruption investigation completion date has been extended, as new evidence of corrupt activities has been uncovered which must be investigated to its logical conclusion. An extension to the proclamation was applied for and granted in this respect,” reads the presentation.
