Government officials involved in corruption within the housing sector are to be investigated and prosecuted through new powers given to the Special Investigating Unit.
Lindiwe Sisulu, the housing minister, says deviant officials will be brought to book through intensive criminal prosecutions and civil recoveries. She was speaking during the debate on her department’s budget vote in the National Assembly.
Sisulu says a National Anti-corruption Forum is being set up.
Housing budget approved
Meanwhile political parties in the Western Cape legislation have welcomed the R1.2 billion budget of the local government and housing department. Richard Dyantyi, the provincial minister, presented a budget with most money allocated to the building of houses in 15 identified areas which include townships and rural areas. Dyantyi says R428 million has been set aside for the identified areas.
A further R600 million will be used in the same areas in the next two years. - SABC
