SIU gets go-ahead to probe Zuma's visit to uMgungundlovu
President Cyril Ramaphosa has authorised a Special Investigative Unit probe into his predecessor Jacob Zuma’s visit to KwaZulu-Natal just after he was elected two years ago. The investigation will look into “the procurement of, or contracting for event management services for the Presidential Visit Event at Inzinga on 23 December 2017”, which was held at iNzinga, eMpendle in the uMgungundlovu district municipality.
Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola obtained authorisation from Ramaphosa to investigate uMgungundlovu’s affairs. Among contracts to be probed include event management services for the presidential visit to Inzinga on December 23, 2017 shortly after Ramaphosa was elected ANC president. Zuma’s diary stated he visited for an annual youth and culture celebration.
According to the proclamation authorising the investigation, the SIU must probe serious maladministration in connection with the municipality’s affairs, improper or unlawful conduct by its officials or employees.
