Deputy Speaker, since April 2008, the toll- free number that belongs to the Public Service Commission forwards these matters to Home Affairs in the form of cases.
Five hundred and seventy-five cases have been investigated. Of those, 240 have resulted in action being taken against the officials and 125 of these cases have been referred to the department's employee relations directorate for disciplinary procedures to be instituted against the officials concerned. One hundred and fifteen of those cases have been referred to the SA Police Service for further investigation and the institution of criminal proceedings against those officials. Thank you.
