The Democratic Alliance said the Special Investigating Unit still remains without a permanent head. 

Minister of Justice Jeff Radebe gave his budget vote speech on Wednesday in Parliament. 

The DA says there is no rational explanation for the SIU not having a head. 

DA MP of Justice Debbie Schafer said the only comment the Minister made was that the President was considering appointing their head.

“What can he be considering after 17 months? There is no rational explanation for the on-going failure to appoint a permanent suitable head of the SIU.

“The ANC speaks about fighting corruption but their actions reveal the real truth” Schafer added.
