According to Zuma's spokesperson, Mac Maharaj, the President on Tuesday (4 February) signed a proclamation directing the SIU to investigate "serious maladministration" within SAPO, as well as improper or unlawful conduct by post office officials along with unlawful appropriation or expenditure of public money.

Other allegations to be investigated by the SIU include irregularities, malpractice or maladministration in the affairs of SAPO in relation to the management of immovable property; intentional or negligent loss of public money or damage to public property; the implementation of the WebRipost system and loans granted to Courier and Freight Group (Pty) Limited.
