Joburg council speaker reinstates the committee probing the Group Forensic and Investigation Services

# City of Johannesburg council speaker, Margaret Arnolds, has revoked the disbandment of the Special Independent Investigation Committee. The committee was authorised in June 2023 to investigate allegations of corruption by officials of the Group Forensic and Investigation Services. Former speaker Nobuhle Mthembu froze the investigations in April this year over budgetary concerns. Arnolds says the integrity of governance processes depends on independent committees being able to work without interference. She adds that her office is committed to ensuring that the committee completes its work in full.
