The Hawks have moved to allay fears that it is helping to settle personal scores following the arrest of Norma Gigaba on charges of assault and malicious damage to property.
Questions have been asked about the involvement of the elite crime-fighting unit in what seems to have been a domestic dispute between Gigaba and her husband, former finance minister Malusi Gigaba.
She was arrested on Friday for alleged assault and malicious damage to property.
This, after a video went viral on social media showing a luxury vehicle, allegedly belonging to Malusi Gigaba, being damaged.
Hawks spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi says not all the fact are currently in the public domain and that the unit’s involvement will become clear once the investigations are complete.
Norma Gigaba is due back in court on Monday after being released on R5000 bail.
