Several magistrates and private contractors who had allegedly been involved in the so-called R50 million lapa scandal can expect a second unpleasant surprise.
Heath special investigative unit senior legal adviser Advocate Gerhard Visagie on Tuesday confirmed that "many Justice department officials and private contractors" could expect subpoenas from the unit to appear before a special tribunal.
The report was compiled by the Investigating Directorate for Serious Economic Offences (IDSEO) following a probe of two years. Arrests can be expected soon.
Both the Heath Unit and IDSEO probes stem from the exposure in 1998 of the involvement of Magistrates' courts in fraudulent authorisation of private contractors to effect luxury renovations to Magistrates' Courts and official homes.
