The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) with the assistance of the Directorate of Priority Crimes Investigations, also known as the Hawks, conducted searches and seized evidence at Home Affairs offices in five provinces as part of an ongoing investigation into the affairs of the Department of Home Affairs. The searches follow a tip-off from a whistleblower that suggested that Home Affairs officials are colluding with syndicates to duplicate application status files.
