The Hawks and SIU raided a Pretoria home affairs office on Friday as part of investigations into alleged maladministration and corruption.
Minister Aaron Motsoaledi was part of the operation and told eNCA that similar raids were taking place at other centres across the country after information received by a whistleblower.

News24 reported more than 60 Home Affairs officials have been identified as suspects in the investigation.
