The SIU raided five refugee centres across the country on Friday as part of the investigation into alleged corruption by home affairs officials.<\/p>\n

One hundred and twenty officials are being investigated for dodgy dealings in the awarding of refugee status.<\/p>\n

This includes documents awarded to asylum seekers dating back to 2004.<\/p>\n

Motsoaledi said that the investigation was triggered by a tip-off from a whistleblower.<\/p>\n

“I then put up the Lubisi Report. From the results of that report, I realised that we must call SIU because there are many things that needed their skill. The corruption is done by officials here with foreign nationals who don\u2019t deserve to be in South Africa but who have got lots of money to bribe.”<\/p>\n
