SIU to probe alleged corruption into some Buffalo City tenders
Municipal spokesperson Luzuko Buku says the municipality will not halt its own internal probe.
According to President Cyril Ramaphosa, the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) has been authorized to probe several historical projects related to Buffalo City Metro and the Buffalo City Metro Development Agency. The SIU will investigate contracts and services associated with projects such as the Mdantsane NU2 swimming pool, the demolition of walls by First New Generation Trading, and the appointment of Consulting Engineer Services for the water world project.
Municipal Spokesperson Luzuko Buku stated that the municipality will continue its internal investigations and disciplinary processes while welcoming the SIU's involvement. Buku views the SIU's investigation and the municipality's own investigation as complementary processes aimed at achieving clean governance in the city. The United Democratic Movement (UDM) has also welcomed the SIU's investigation, urging the SIU and the court to conduct their work without interference.
