Was he playing dumb to avoid accountability, or is Mosebenzi Zwane as incompetent as he claims?

Zwane made a shocking admission at the Zondo commission on Friday: he had not bothered to familiarise himself with the legislation that governed his portfolio when he was Free State housing MEC.Zwane stunned deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo when he admitted to approving an"illegal" process to hand-pick companies for a housing project because he believed the Housing Act enabled him to do so. He said he had never read the act.

In April 2010, the Free State provincial human settlements department was allocated R1.4bn from the housing conditional grant to build thousands of low-cost houses.A tender process was started, certain bidders were disqualified, but before the process could be concluded, it was abandoned. The national government at the time told the province that it risked forfeiting the money if it was not spent by the end of the financial year.The head of department at the time, Mpho Mokoena, described the move as"illegal" because, without going to tender, it had developed a database of service providers.But Zwane told the commission that he was convinced that his actions were within the law.

Lol he really is though

He is only dumb and naive when it comes to accountability but very resourceful in coming up with schemes to steal and siphon government monies like Estina diary farm.

Typical BEE DNA

This guy is not a fool. He was just avoiding accountability!

To avoid to be subjected to scrutiny U just have to play the 'I am not aware/was not aware syndrome' the commission has no answers for tht..common strategy

The nation is led by a blind.

now this is the kind of leadership SA is subjected to the past 26 years, MYANC innocent until proven otherwise, the infamous excuse always by VoetsekANC Viva BLACK EXCELLENCE proudly sponsored by ANCovid 19 looter !!! CyrilRamaphosa immoral Thugs in green and yellow T Shirts

Worse!

both. all 3. like all ANC people -useless but still hold a government position

The most frightening thing about Zwane, is that he's still in the MYANC NEC.... The most frightening thing about PresJGZuma, is that he was once a Head of State!

We should ask the same about sensored bias media and lazy journalism

‘Zwane did not come clean’ | CitypressFree State officials speak out, no longer willing to shoulder the blame for the corrupt influence of former political heads. We shall see. I doubt they will go as far as they need to, or that they will produce sufficient evidence to put those 2 scumbags away.
