Cape Town – A former director-general in the national department of housing has become the seventh suspect in the asbestos scandal to be arrested, the National Prosecuting Authority said on Thursday.

The arrests flow from a probe by the Special Investigating Unit that began in 2019, but the scandal has in recent weeks made headlines as the Zondo Commission of inquiry into state capture delved into it as part of its hearings on malfeasance in the Free State province. The charges against them include fraud, theft, corruption and breaching the Public Finance Management Act.

Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has found only R21 million was spent on the actual audit. Not a single asbestos roof was removed and replaced.
