We didn’t know monies from the COVID-19 relief fund would be stolen - Mabuza

CAPE TOWN - Deputy President David Mabuza has told Parliament the government did not know that money set aside to combat the COVID-19 pandemic would be stolen.

The Auditor-General Kimi Makwetu this week released a damning report detailing the misappropriation of funds intended for COVID-19 relief. He replied and said: “When we took the decision to redirect resources in order to strengthen our fight against COVID-19, we did that in a way of trying to protect our people and to get the health system to be ready to deal with any eventuality.Mabuza defended the allocation of resources to deal with the pandemic.

Mabuza said the pandemic had also shown that corruption was now prevalent in the private as well as the public sector as those who benefitted from tenders included business people.Mabuza said the government hoped that Eskom’s division into three separate divisions would be completed in two years’ time.It was his first appearance at Parliament since ill health caused him to miss two oral reply sessions in the National Assembly in July and August and another in the NCOP in July.

Remember David M had R14m CASH stolen from his home in 2009, who has so much CASH, Mmusi M is so right, stop cash use as there is no trail to follow, so how did Davis get so much CASH He speaks with a forked tongue👺
