Summary:
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has been authorized to investigate allegations of serious maladministration in the KwaZulu-Natal Film Commission (KZNFC). The investigation will focus on the procurement of and contracting for companies to partner with the Film Commission in the development and operation of the KZN Studios. The SIU will also investigate any unauthorized, irregular, or fruitless and wasteful expenditure incurred by KZNFC or the State, as well as any unlawful or improper conduct by officials or employees of KZNFC, suppliers, or service providers. The investigation covers allegations of conduct that took place between 1 July 2017 and 22 March 2024, and the SIU will make systematic recommendations to improve measures to prevent future losses. The investigation is empowered by the Special Investigating Units and Special Tribunals Act 74 of 1996 (SIU Act) and will refer any evidence of criminal conduct to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for further action.
