Fazel told MPs that an investigation by auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers was concluded on the eve of general elections in 2019, and the public works minister at the time, Thulas Nxesi, advised that it be left to whoever would be succeeding him to determine actions on its findings.
Fazel also said the report could not be submitted to Vukela as he had approved “85%” of the R76m spend on the three funerals. But De Lille provoked the ire of ANC MPs when she said that she did not have the responsibility to share the report with Vukela, arguing it was the duty of Fazel to do so. De Lille said the duty was to escalate it to President Cyril Ramaphosa, but the ANC's Mervin Dirks did not agree.
“The response the minister is giving us doesn't help the situation. What it shows is serious divisions in that department, serious factions in that department ... when that report comes I will not be prepared to discuss the merit and demerits of the report until we deal with procedural processes that are so flawed in that department,” said Dirks.“The minister uyayi mosho . She's taking us back to a debate.
In the end, De Lille assured MPs that Vukela would be in possession of the report by the end of this week.
