The Hawks to oppose Oscar Mabuyane's application to halt their investigations into him

The Hawks are expected to oppose the application brought by Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane to halt their investigations into him. Mabuyane has approached the Bhisho High Court to seek an interdict against the Hawks. He wants the elite investigating unit to also hand over all the evidence in its possession regarding the R450,000 payment he allegedly received from funds meant for the memorial service of the late Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.

Hawks head, Lieutenant- General Godfrey Lebeya, elaborates.
