In other Briefly.co.za political news, the South African Special Investigating Unit (SIU) recently revealed in a report the extent that looting of public funds via defrauding governmental organizations and overpricing certain personal protective equipment has affected the country - and President Cyril Ramaphosa is far from impressed.
Addressing the findings of the SIU in his weekly newsletter, Ramaphosa expressed great disdain for those he says went out of their way to defraud the country in a time when it was facing what may be its biggest health crisis.
Ramaphosa also expressed his shock at the great lengths many people were going to, to be able to rob certain institutions and get money from the country, adding that it was not a result of negligence or lack of oversight by governmental officials, but "wilful intent" to defraud.
