A forensic investigation commissioned by KwaZulu-Natal's social development department has revealed corruption involving about R300-million, provincial minister Meshack Hadebe said on Wednesday. "I don't want to discuss the content of the report now because there are processes that have to be followed. It is still confidential. I also don't want to discuss it because there are people's bank accounts that have to be frozen,” he told Sapa.
Radebe, who commissioned the investigation, said some senior officials in his department and people outside the department were likely to be arrested or face disciplinary measures. Radebe said he initiated the investigation after he received calls from people complaining about not receiving their grants. He also suspected funds earmarked for NGOs and community-based organisations were not handled properly.
Radebe had briefed Premier Dr Zweli Mkhize about the contents of the report.
