The Congress of South African Trade Unions supports the North West Premier's decisive action to fight corruption. The forensic investigation in the following departments: Education, Public Works, Roads and Transport, Health, Safety and Security, and Agriculture must be extended to Economic affairs, and Sports Arts and Culture.

COSATU calls on the Premier to give all key strategic officials of all the departments leave without pay to allow proper investigation

It is known that an investigation that takes place while the officials are present will be a futile exercise because they will be defending themselves.

Investigation must be combined with action. Those who are implicated must go and be punished and pay back the public funds.

COSATU also calls the Premier to investigate all the farms that belong to MECs, government officials and mayors and how did they get them, including the implementation task team report against municipalities.
