President Cyril Ramaphosa orders the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to investigate a R168 million tender involving business figures Carrim and related parties, according to reporting. The probe is also set to examine financial dealings tied to Jotham “King Mswazi” Msibi, a prominent taxi industry figure who died in January 2024.
The SIU investigation focuses on potential irregularities connected to the tender and on how money and transactions are handled through associated entities. Different outlets describe the matter in varying terms depending on what aspects they emphasize, but they broadly align on the central action: Ramaphosa’s directive for an SIU inquiry and the inclusion of the Carrim-linked tender and Msibi-related financial arrangements in the scope of the investigation.
