THE Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has been authorised to investigate allegations of serious maladministration in connection with the affairs of the KwaDukuza Local Municipality in the administration and delivery of three tenders, the SIU said in a statement issued on 30 January.
The SIU said the tenders are in connection with the appointment of a panel of contractors for 36-month road rehabilitation, KwaDukuza Mall bulk supply, and KwaDukuza Mall bulk supply – construction of industrial 33/11 KV substation upgrade.
The SIU probe will examine whether the procurement and contracting were made in a manner that was not fair, competitive, transparent, equitable, or cost-effective or in violation of applicable legislation, guidelines, or instructions from the National or Provincial Treasury. This includes the Municipality or the State’s unauthorised, irregular, or wasteful expenditure.
The Proclamation covers allegations of unlawful and improper conduct that occurred between 1 July 2018 and 24 January 2025, as well as any related activities before 1 July 2018 and after the date of the Proclamation that are pertinent to the matters under investigation or involve the same persons, entities, or contracts, the SIU said.
