Show Notes
South Africas Special Investigating Unit is advocating for enhanced lifestyle audits on public servants to plug loopholes and detect unexplained wealth. The unit proposes a tiered approach, commencing with reviews, advancing to audits for suspicious activities, and culminating in comprehensive investigations. The proposed guidelines expand the scope of annual asset declarations to encompass rural land, livestock, buildings, trusts, international travel, bank accounts, investments, cryptocurrency, and offshore holdings. Additionally, the unit advocates for a review of at least three years of bank records to align income with expenditure. The unit aims to overcome previous resistance from departments by seeking a blanket proclamation for cooperation and direct bank access, and by collaborating with the Public Service Administration, State Security Agency to integrate lifestyle checks into senior manager security clearances.
