The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the procurement of PPE in State institutions has shown worrying levels of corruption in the country, says the SIU.

Cape Town - The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the procurement of Personal Protective Equipment in State institutions has shown worrying levels of corruption in the country, says the Special Investigations Unit.SIU head advocate Andy Mothibi said a PPE investigation report was submitted to President Cyril Ramaphosa on April 30.

“We’ve made significant progress and shown outcomes. We will present these findings to the committee at an appropriate time.” “To date, several preservation orders have been handed down by the Tribunal. In total, 13, but notably what the Tribunal has done is also issue preservation orders and two of those have significantly been issued this year totalling in excess R44 million. Both of those matters are presently pending and appeals have been lodged in both those matters.

“Just to highlight the importance of the tribunal is that the number of cases finalised despite the Covid-19 conditions that prevail is much more significant than what we’ve experienced by our litigation in terms of the high courts.”
