02 July 2018 - NW1962
Bozzoli, Prof B to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
(a) What is the status of the investigation by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) into expenditure on student parties by the Tshwane South Technical and Vocational Education and Training College and (b) on what date will the findings of the investigation be made public?
Reply:
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has informed me that the allegation, as referred to by the Honourable Member, does not from part of the Schedule to Proclamation No. R. 5 of 2018 (published in Government Gazette No. 41433 of 9 February 2018) (the Proclamation). The Schedule to the Proclamation which was referred to the SIU for investigation is attached as Annexure A for ease of reference.
The allegations as set out in the Proclamation are currently being investigated by the SIU. Once the investigation is finalised, the SIU must, in terms of section of 4 of the Special Investigating Units and Special Tribunals Act, 1996 (Act 74 of 1996) (the SIU Act), report on the outcome of the investigation. Section 4 of the SIU Act further provides for interim reporting mechanisms regarding investigations in that the SIU must at least twice a year report to Parliament on investigations that were referred to the SIU.
