Finance Minister Tito Mboweni has taken to Twitter to defend himself against claims that the government missed a required payment to join the Covax vaccine scheme.

On Friday, DA leader John Steenhuisen accused the government of botching the acquisition of a life-saving vaccine and said that its tardiness was jeopardising the country’s access to the drugs.

”I told these DA chaps that they must first inform themselves before opening their loud mouths about things they know nothing about.He said he would ask EFF leader Julius Malema to deal with the DA. I told these DA chaps that they must first inform themselves before opening their loud mouths about things they know nothing about.They are just tjatjarag! I will ask— Tito Mboweni He went on to say that the matter should be dealt with in a civilised manner.

Ok. Let us be civilized about this. There are processes and procedures about the vaccine issues. Minister Zweli Mkhize and myself have dealt with the issues. He is the line Minister on this and he has dealt with the admin issues. Nothing more to be said. DA va tamba!“ Minister Zweli Mkhize and myself have dealt with the issues.“DAMkhize on Friday night blamed administrative issues and that the money would be paid in the next two or three days.

The Solidarity Fund, which is expected to pay the deposit of more than R327 million for the vaccine for 10% of the country’s population, has undertaken to make the payment once given the green light by the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisations, which launched Covax, a global alliance to ensure access to Covid-19 vaccines regardless of the wealth of a country.

DA to lay ethics complaint against Tito Mboweni over Covax paymentThe official opposition on Friday said it would request the ethics committee to investigate Finance Minister Tito Mboweni for allegedly misleading Parliament about the country’s payment to sign up to the global Covax programme. I think it is unethical to sign us up for the untested experimental vaccine for which there is no need. All political parties seem to have sold us out.
