# President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed a proclamation expanding the Special Investigating Unit’s probe into the War on Leaks programme to include the Drop the Block project. The investigation was initially limited to the Water and Sanitation Department and Sedibeng Water, but will now also include the water utility, Lepelle Northern Water. The probe is looking into allegations of serious maladministration in the department, including inflated costs, irregular appointment of service providers and irregular expenditure. The War on Leaks programme was launched in 2015.
