She has also given a thumbs up to the Hawks's probe.

"When we deal with corruption - we will name and shame all those who steal from the poor. We will not name and shame people on the basis of allegations. We will do it through legal actions. We are prepared to fight corruption," she said. 

Gumede says she was also waiting for a report on the alleged selling of posts at the municipality.
