Justice committee calls on Lamola to investigate Mothibi 'abuse of power'
Updated | By Sinethemba Madolo
Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Justice wants minister Ronald Lamola to probe Special Investigating Unit (SIU) head Andy Mothibi for alleged abuse of power.
The committee received a letter of complaint against the management style of citing "gross abuse of power and abuse by Mothibi to conceal sexual harassment tendencies and the victimisation of women employees".

In a statement, the chairperson of the committee Bulelani Magwanishe said they will inform Lamola about the allegations levelled against Mothibi.
"We will inform the minister that the matter is very urgent and that there should be an expeditious investigation. Furthermore, we would require a report on this matter when we return to Parliament early in the new year.
"The SIU is very important in the fight against corruption and we cannot allow it to be destabilised."
The committee says will engage with the minister in January 2020.
