There is no other reason that we are delaying it, except that this was an investigative report, by investigators. It would be remiss for me to try and make myself an investigator and bring it to you,&#8221; Motsoaledi told the committee.<\/p>\n<p><b>Special report |<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Unwelcomed Neighbours: Measuring the human cost of ending Zimbabwean permits<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The people who are not here are not officials from the department; it has got nothing to do with officials from the department. But they&#8217;re outside people doing the investigation, who we could not get today, for which I profusely apologise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Motsoaledi said he would do everything possible to have the task team members at the briefing on 8 July.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But these members are high-powered people. Some of them have since been called to the bench to act, and they are not easily available. But I will make sure that I bring a minimum number of those without whom the report cannot be presented.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DA MP Angel Khanyile and IFP MP Liezl van der Merwe asked that committee members receive the report as soon as possible to prepare for the briefing.<\/p>\n<p>Motsoaledi said it was in the committee&#8217;s hands, but he had his reservations.<\/p>\n<p>He said the report was of a &#8220;sensitive nature&#8221;, and previously the committee allowed him not to send reports of a similar nature to the MPs before it was presented to the committee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To distribute it here, electronically, I&#8217;m a jittery about it,&#8221; Motsoaledi said.<\/p>\n<p>The chairperson of the committee, Mosa Chabane, said he would discuss the matter with MPs and legal services, and then advise Motsoaledi on their decision.<\/p>\n<p>Motsoaledi appointed the task team in March last year to review the permits issued by his department.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Motsoaledi said he identified the need to review the permits after realising a trend emerging from the outcomes of cases involving prominent people investigated by the department&#8217;s Counter Corruption Unit.<\/p>\n<p>The unit investigates wrongdoing by departmental officials.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Over the years, the Counter Corruption Unit has established that 66%, or nearly two out of every three reported cases, involved permitting. The allegations are reported by different whistleblowers, using different avenues to reach the Counter Corruption unit,&#8221; he said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In November 2020, during a high powered investigation, I was alarmed when 14 members of the permitting section signed a petition demanding that the Counter Corruption Unit should stop investigating their errors. This admission strengthened my resolve to have a more transparent permit issuance regime.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The task team was established to review all permits issued since 2004 \u2013 the year in which the Immigration Act came into operation \u2013 in the following categories:<\/p>\n<p>The task team is chaired by former top civil servant, Cassius Lubisi, and will include advocate Sesi Baloyi, forensic investigations specialist Peter Bishop, Kathleen Dlepu &#8211; the chair of the Legal Services Council &#8211; and Professor Somadoda Fikeni.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
