Report fraud and corruption

Government fraud and corruption cases are handled by different national and provincial institutions. Each institution deals with specific cases.

The Provincial Forensic Services unit, within the Department of the Premier Corporate Assurance, deals with cases and/or suspicions of fraud, theft and corruption affecting the Western Cape Government.

• date, time, duration of the incident and the provincial department affected
• details of the people/organisations involved and how they are involved
• evidence/documents to support your claim
