Christopher Mulaudzi attended last week's virtual public works portfolio committee meeting while topless in bed.

He said although he joined the meeting as a member of the public and not as a representative of public works or the Independent Development Trust, his behaviour was unprofessional

“Although the hearing was open to the public and of immense public interest, it was unprofessional of me to join the proceedings from the privacy of my bedroom,” he said. “I was totally unaware the video was on and was convinced I had taken the necessary precautions to deactivate it.”“This incident caused great embarrassment and harm to his colleagues, the department of public works, the minister and deputy minister, and has undermined the decorum of the national legislature, especially the parliament committee on public works and infrastructure,” said Mulaudzi.
