Cape Town – The law enforcement agencies are hot on the heels of those implicated in the looting of Covid-19 funds to procure personal protective equipment , with the Hawks expected to make arrests soon.
He said the arrests would come as early as Tuesday next week, but did not indicate how many people involved in Covid-19 corruption will be arrested. Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola said they will deal with the issue of giving more resources to the law enforcement agencies. "If the proper risks were identified and the proper mitigating measures were put in place in departments, we wouldn't be sitting here dealing with Covid-19 corruption," said Batihi.
South African Revenue Service head Edward Kieswetter said they were looking at a number of non-compliant cases.
