The Special Investigating Unit SIU is set to launch a full investigation into Buffalo City Metros controversial contracts involving the Leighandre Baby Lee Jegels Recreational Park, popularly known as The Stoep, and the recently renovated Marina Glen area.
The unit, however, is still waiting for premier Oscar Mabuyanes office to sign a letter of support to proceed with its investigation into the multimillion-rand projects. But office of the premier spokesperson Khuselwa Rantjie denied on Thursday that it had received the letter and declined to comment on the matter.
The letter is required for the SIU to get a presidential proclamation to authorise the investigation. Once signed, a motivation for the proclamation will be processed through the department of justice and sent to President Cyril Ramaphosas office.
