The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is updating South Africans on its probe into dodgy personal protective equipment (PPE) tenders.
SIU head, Advocate Andy Mothibi, is releasing finalised reports into allegations of PPE corruption by state institutions.
The SIU has so far recovered more than R126 million in illegal PPE contracts.
In total, the SIU says it's received 189 tender irregularities linked to PPE contracts nationally amounting to R30.7 billion between April and November 2020.
Karam Singh, the Head of Legal and Investigations at Corruption Watch, says the progress made by the SIU is encouraging.
