On March 6, 2024, South Africa’s Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA) and the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen their partnership and commitment to financial integrity and accountability within public administration. The MoU aimed to dissuade financial malpractices and reassure the public about the government’s commitment to eliminating financial mismanagement within its ranks. Parliament also invited the public to engage in the democratic process and visit, attend debates, and arrange a tour.
