Deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo has instructed the state capture commission's legal team to summon the Hawks to appear over investigations into corruption at Prasa.
Martha Ngoye, Prasa's former head of legal, risk and compliance, on Tuesday accused the Hawks of playing a merry-go-round with the cases before them.Ngoye, asked by Zondo what the Hawks had done about cases reported to them, said there had been endless meetings and back-and-forth exchanges of documents between the two parties - with no end in sight.
Zondo immediately instructed the commission's legal and investigation team to summon the Hawks to appear before the commission to account in this regard. According to Zondo, it was of the utmost importance for the Hawks to move with speed, as the stealing of public money is not merely a civil matter in which it is usually difficult to get the money back, but also a criminal matter for which culprits should be arrested. "I need to have evidence from the Hawks, with special reference to the Prasa cases, to hear what they have been doing.
"I know they are going to come at some stage to talk about a lot of things, but for now I want to hear about the Prasa cases. I want to know what is it that has been done all along. This whole thing must be cleared as to what is it over the years that they have done - and what it is that they have not done and why they have not done it."
