The information will involve the documentation of investigations generated through the course of former Chief Justice Raymond Zondo’s inquiry on state capture.
Mashabane briefed the media alongside the NPA earlier in Cape Town today.
“Part of the understanding was that the capabilities would be made available for law enforcement agencies of the Republic for utilisation post the commission. Since the department is the custodian of the Commission’s Act. And all the work that commissions from time to time do administratively get supported by the department in many ways. It was agreed that such assets would be transferred to the department for management.”
