# Authorities are investigating 50 non-profit organisations suspected of money laundering and terror funding. Acting Social Development director-general, Peter Netshipale, says some foreign-backed groups exploit NPOs to recruit members, threatening national security. He says this crackdown aligns with Financial Action Task Force guidelines. He says investigations into illicite transactions continue as National Treasury hopes South Africa will exit the task force’s grey list by October.
