CAPE TOWN - The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) said that government officials were hampering investigations into alleged COVID-19 tender fraud by failing to provide relevant documents or making themselves available to be interviewed.
This has forced the SIU to resort to issuing subpoenas to compel the errant officials to cooperate with investigators.
