“The Sunday Times has learnt that, in their report to be handed to President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday, Special Investigating Unit investigators will allege that Mkhize ’pressured’ officials in his department to appoint the company when it was first contracted to the department in 2019 to work on communications for the National Health Insurance scheme,” the paper reported.

Prior to taking special leave, Mkhize conceded that the R150m contract was irregular. He claimed that he had not benefited from it personally and that he did not declare a conflict of interest because he believed there was none.

There will never be an end to this. Everyone of them sees this as an opportunity to secure an everlasting future for themselves and their families.

This is what they know and do best,looting.

But, having said that, when will departmental officials begin to grow up and refuse to be pressurised? The time has arrived for everybody 'pressurised' to do the wrong thing also to be prosecuted as 100% complicit.

he is mr state capture. i knew he will still do same things he did as MY ANC TREASURER

Looters are rotten to the core

😂😂😂😂😂 that's your lead story?

Yet he said he was not involved in the adjudication of the contract and he still won’t do the right thing—RESIGN in shame!

Mkhize has always been corrupt, kodwa ke thieves in the ANC always protect one another.

Allow Mkhize to pay back

ANC is rotten to the core.....they all the same.

What about the alleged central role played by Dr Anban Pillay right here👇? Reveal all & the courts will then give us proof of the guilty & innocent right?

Lol

This man is a tsotsi and did things for his friends and family.

Thief's don't get suspended. They get fired or forced to resign and should do some jail time. Gov can flip this one in their favour saying we're on Lvl4 because of this man's incompetence.

I wonder if the short term benefits outweighed the long?

Curry gangsters

What disgusting man you are Zweli Mkhize. During a pandemic when so many people are struggling you busy stealing. How low can a person go?

He resigned. On his own...

He was involved in such practises when he was on the ANC executive Dud anyone not think he would not continue not to do it ? There's only 1 place for him. Jail
