Fed-up members of Parliament's finance watchdog Scopa have warned the Presidency to act on the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) reports and drop the laissez-faire attitude.

On Thursday night, the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) was due to receive a briefing on all SIU matters as well as the suspension of public works and infrastructure director-general (DG) Sam Vukela.

However, Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele pleaded with the committee to allow him to engage President Cyril Ramaphosa's office to take all matters forward.

On the Vukela matter, Gungubele said: "I found the matter in the process.

EFF MP Veronica Mente said there was a laissez-faire attitude at the Presidency in dealing with these matters.

Other MPs agreed that Gungubele should return to the committee early in the new year to report back on the matters

The head of the SIU, Andy Mothibe, said investigation matters were submitted to the Presidency - and, where necessary, they would make referrals to the NPA and other law enforcement agencies

Committee chairperson Mkhuleko Hlengwa said they would strive to ensure the committee took action and did not become a talk shop

The committee resolved to meet with Gungubele on the first available date in January 2022
