The Commission has been embroiled in several scandals which prompted a series of investigations by the Special Investigating Unit.

Earlier this year, it was granted an order to freeze a multi-million rand property, allegedly bought with commission money.

Criminal cases have been opened against the former CFO Philemon Letwaba, CEO Lesley Ramulifho and an attorney.
