SIU still to settle civil cases totalling R6.3bn

  
Hundreds of South African members of the non-governmental organisation Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) protest outside the Life Esidimeni arbitration public hearing on January 22, 2018 in Johannesburg, South Africa. At least 143 mentally ill patients died after South African authorities moved them in 2016 from hospital to unlicensed health facilities that were compared to "concentration camps", a government investigation revealed on January 17, 2018. Many of the deaths were due to pneumonia, dehydration and diarrhoea, as the patients were hurriedly shifted to 27 "poorly-prepared" facilities in an apparent cost-cutting measure that showed evidence of neglect. / AFP PHOTO / GIANLUIGI GUERCIA (Photo credit should read GIANLUIGI GUERCIA/AFP via Getty Images)

In its bid to retrieve money siphoned off through alleged procurement corruption, the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has failed to finalise about R6.3-billion worth of civil cases dating back to 2019. 

Only R66.8-million of the more than R6.3-billion of civil claims that are before the Special Tribunal have been finalised.
