President Jacob Zuma has appointed Advocate Wilhelm Visagie as the acting head of the Special Investigating Unit (SIU).
Presidential spokesperson Mac Maharaj on Monday said President Zuma appointed Visagie in terms of the Special Investigating Units and Special Tribunals Act of 1996.
“Advocate Visagie is the executive manager of Legal Services in the SIU and has been with the institution since 1997, having previously served in the erstwhile Heath Commission,” said Maharaj.
The appointment of Visagie follows the resignation of Advocate Vas Soni for personal reasons.
Soni left the institution on Friday after his appointment by Zuma in September 2013. Zuma received Soni's resignation last month.
