# Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi has dismissed AfriForum’s allegations levelled against him of covering up corruption, money laundering and fraud within the provincial government. The allegations are centred around the investigations of 13 officials from the Department of Social Development who are implicated in forensic investigations. The officials were placed on special leave on allegations of misconduct between November 2023 and January this year. The officials were reinstated in August as they had not been officially charged. Lesufi says the report will be made public once the investigation is completed.
