Health minister Zweli Mkhize is in the spotlight after his ‘family friend’ allegedly scored Covid-19 contracts issued by the department of health valued at more than R82m.

Addressing theon Thursday, Mkhize welcomed the probe, saying it was part of the commitment government made that allegations of any form of corruption must be investigated.

He said because the allegations have raised public interest, the outcomes of the investigation would be reported to the public. “We very much appreciate and support that, as part of accountability, clean governance and ensuring compliance with the PFMA [Public Finance Management Act] and Treasury regulations by the department,” he said.

“Where allegations of irregularities and non-compliance have been brought to our attention through an audit finding or whistle-blowing, the department must interrogate these.” Many on social media, including One SA Movement leader Mmusi Maimane and the EFF, said Mkhize should step down from office while the investigations took place.EFF Statement On Minister Mkhize And COVID-19 Corruption Linked To His Family Friend
