The Special Investigating Unit seems to be making headway with its investigations into dodgy government tenders for personal protective equipment.
Of the nearly R140-billion of money spent on procuring PPE since the start of the pandemic, the SIU is probing nearly R15-billion.
The unit’s head advocate Andy Mothibi has updated Parliament’s watchdog committee Scopa on their efforts to recoup some of the money.
Mothibi said: “The investigations have been completed and outcomes have been reached, particularly with regards to referrals of matters to the Special Tribunal as of the date of this report we have referred about R1,91-billion worth of contracts that been found to be irregular by the investigations.
“Those have been referred to the Special Tribunal in order to set the contracts aside and to recover the losses that the state institutions would have suffered.”
