SIU informs Ramaphosa of challenges over R216m payment for PPE probe

SIU spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago explained to Sunday Times Daily that “in normal circumstances, when a proclamation is made, that proclamation is usually directed at one institution”.

“We then started engagements with the Treasury to ask if they could centralise this and put money aside for all these invoices [so] we deal with the Treasury and not individuals. That did not and has not worked up to now, but we are still engaging with them for a solution,” said Kganyago. “Inasmuch as the engagements are going, we just wanted the president to be aware of the challenges we are facing,” he said.

Why should the SIU rely on short term contractors to fulfill it's mandate? Surely the SIU should have the capacity in-house for such an investigation? Is it underfunded by design? Investigative journalists seem to be able to do it at a fraction of the cost to the SIU. PaulivW

Paying for anything is a challenge for our government ne? I think Treasury must do away with Purchase Orders and start paying up front for everything 😂😂😂😂

Former Santaco CEO received payments from blacklisted PPE suppliers - SIU reportFormer Santaco CEO Nkululeko Buthelezi received payments from two suppliers contracted to provide PPE to the department of transport. Now I believe that PPE happened because of Zuma like you can see his finger prints everywhere. He must pay it back. Arrest and prosecute! From the report it is clear that this is theft. But nothing will happen, someone down the line will be “disciplined” instead.
