Premier, Sihle Zikalala, says they have approached the state security agency and Sars to facilitate lifestyle audits on senior government officials and KZN Cabinet.
Zikalala had been briefing media on the directors of companies which were awarded Covid-19 related contracts in the province.
This follows an outcry over alleged Covid-19 related corruption.
The Eastern Cape and Gauteng have also subjected officials to lifestyle audits after allegations of corruption and fraud in Covid-19 procurement.
