President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed off on the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) probing several government departments and municipalities, including a Metro, for possible unlawful conduct, the presidency said on Friday.

According to a statement from the presidency, the SIU will look at possible "serious irregularities in relation to procurement of goods and/or services in a manner that was not fair, competitive, transparent, equitable or cost-effective, contrary to applicable legal framework".
