Presidency is investigating Heath Remarks
10 December 2011
The Presidency has noted media reports on the concerns of Former President Thabo Mbeki about the utterances of the newly-appointed head of the Special Investigating Unit, Willem Heath.
The Presidency also received a letter from lawyers acting for former President Mbeki on the utterances.
We wish to point out as follows;
None of the allegations made by Mr Heath have been attributed to any duty or function which he exercises as the Head of the SIU and a perusal of the newspaper report makes it abundantly clear that it was conducted by Mr Heath in his personal capacity. The Presidency and Government in general have nothing whatsoever to do with the comments made by Mr Heath.
