Hon Chairperson, let us not do shadow-boxing. The Auditor- General is correct: Too many civil servants and their spouses are involved in business, but what about politicians and what about councillors? Contracts have been given to political friends and party loyalists.
I can point out that since 1994, in KwaZulu-Natal, certain individuals have become stinking rich. They are getting electrical contracts, they have become suppliers; whereas before 1994 they were not known. What will help check civil servants and politicians is a special squad, within the Hawks, that can check for unaccounted-for enrichment and lifestyles, such as that from the evidence that has been led by KPMG in the Jackie Selebi case.
If you have an investigation for unaccounted-for enrichment and lifestyle in India, you are detained immediately, irrespective of your rank. By the way, for the benefit of the House, in KwaZulu-Natal, the Auditor-General had great praise for only one department, the department of sport and recreation, which was led by the MF leader, Mr A Rajbansi. Thank you. [Time expired.]
