The special tribunal set up to recover money looted from the state is expected to be operational by October, the head of the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), Andy Mothibi, said yesterday, notes News24. The tribunal was established by President Cyril Ramaphosa in February. Mothibi told the National Assembly’s Justice & Correctional Services Committeed a ‘governance committee’ had been established to look at matters arising from the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, and the other commissions. Mothibi said it would be also be looking at several state capture allegations, including those involving Bosasa. He added the ‘governance committee’ had engaged with the NPA in this regard and was certain ‘some of those actions that were not sanctioned some time back will now be receiving appropriate action’. He said the tribunal being operational by October was dependent on the Department of Justice sorting out the logistics. A preliminary site for the tribunal has been established at the Gauteng High Court, also known as the Booysens Court. When the tribunal is up and running, it will deal with civil litigation to recover an estimated R14.7bn.
