JOHANNESBURG - The Special Investigating Unit has searched the offices of the JB Marks Municipality in the North West.
They were looking for evidence of fraud and maladministration by the council.
It relates to the construction of a flood line canal on the N12.
The unit confiscated documents, laptops, mobile devices, and external storage devices.
It says the search and seizure was a last resort after several requests for documents were left unanswered.
The SIU says any evidence of wrongdoing will be handed over to the NPA for prosecution.
