Mchunu slams DA over ‘graft in PSC’ remarks, ‘political games’

Public Service and Administration Minister Senzo Mchunu has slammed the DA over saying the Public Service Commission is a “cesspit” of corruption, calling it “dangerous misinformation”.

“Due to the serious nature of the allegations, the President, in terms of Section 12 , read with Section 42A , of the Public Service Act, 1994, delegated the power to investigate the allegations to the Minister for the Public Service and Administration through a President Act No.43 signed 27 February 2020.”

“The Democratic Alliance and Dr Schreiber should not use such a serious governance and ethics matter to play political games with it.” He adds that from the media reports “it appears that the Public Service Commission had commissioned its own internal investigation, which has resulted in the report by Advocate Smanga Sethene. In this regard, the Public Service Commission would be better placed to respond to the contents thereof.
