SCOPA briefed by SIU,NPA and Hawks

Key financial investigators are leaving the National Prosecuting Authority because of low pay and they’re not only going to the private sector but to the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), where the salary ranges are almost double what the NPA pays. NPA boss Shamila Batohi made this revelation in Parliament during a committee meeting at the public accounts watchdog Scopa. She was part of a delegation from the NPA, SIU and Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks), who briefed the committee on issues of SIU referrals to the NPA across all departments, entities and municipalities. Phemelo speaks to Scopa chairperson, Songezo Zibi.
