In a written update to parliamentary committees, Godfrey Lebeya says a draft application for their appointment had been compiled

A draft application for the appointment of forensic chartered accountants to help law enforcement agencies get to the bottom of the Steinhoff scandal will be finalised soon, Hawks boss Lt-Gen Godfrey Lebeya says.

Civil society groups and various experts have previously suggested that the Hawks and other law enforcement agencies do not have the capacity to investigate such complex cases. At the centre of the saga is former Steinhoff CEO Markus Jooste, one of the senior executives who was at the helm of the retailer ahead of its collapse in December 2017.

In March, CEO Louis du Preez reluctantly released the names of other former executives allegedly responsible for about €6.5bn of fictitious deals at the retailer. This was after the parliamentary committees adopted a resolution to issue a subpoena to force the company to reveal the names. Du Preez and chair Heather Sonn argued at the time that doing so would imperil future prosecutions and violate European privacy laws.
