KwaZulu-Natal MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube has been told to fight her personal battles using her personal funds.The DA in KwaZulu-Natal has called on provincial co-operative governance and traditional affairs MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube to pay her own legal costs in her R1.5m lawsuit against the DA's provincial leader and premier candidate, Zwakele Mncwango.
In a statement on Tuesday, DA deputy chief whip in the legislature Hlanganani Gumbi said Dube-Ncube was welcome to pursue the legal matter. In August last year, Dube-Ncube slapped Mncwango with a R1.5m lawsuit for defamation after he accused the MEC of awarding tenders worth more than R15m to Brand Partners, where her husband Sibusiso Justin Ncube is director of communications.The DA vowed to defend Mncwango and indicated it would not retract the claims he made in a media statement in June last year in which he said Dube-Ncube's husband had benefited financially as a result of her actions.
The DA said the other allegation of corruption against Dube-Ncube was related to Mthonjaneni municipality in Melmoth, where the party had evidence that regulation 32 was used in the appointment of Brand Partners for a series of contracts and other related services worth R8.2m.
