National Treasury has been instructed to undertake a forensic investigation into the Tegeta report which was handed over to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA).
“The Minister of Finance Malusi Gigaba has directed National Treasury to undertake a forensic investigation into the Tegeta report which was handed over to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts,” said the Ministry of Finance on Friday.

“Treasury has reviewed the enforceability of the report and the report sent to SCOPA still stands,” said the Ministry.
