As the DA welcomed a decision to investigate new areas of concern around the arms deal, the Independent Democrats said it meant "absolutely nothing".

Public Protector Lawrence Mushwana, National Prosecuting Authority head Vusi Pikoli, and Auditor-General Terence Nombembe agreed on Thursday that the three agencies would investigate claims on the issue separately and respond directly to the individuals who made enquiries and requests for investigation into new claims regarding the multibillion-rand deal.

ID leader Patricia de Lille said: "We have again missed an opportunity to deal with the outstanding allegations."
