DA to report Mkhize to Parliament’s ethics committee
6 October 2021
Following the release of the damning Special Investigative Unit (SIU) report into the unlawful Digital Vibes contract, the DA will be submitting an affidavit and a complaint to the Executive Ethics Committee in Parliament.
The former health minister, Dr Zweli Mkhize, remains a Member of Parliament, remunerated by the public, and is therefore still answerable to Parliament and by extension the people of South Africa.
Based on the SIU report, we make a case to the Executive Ethics Committee that Dr Mkhize has possibly violated Sections 2.3, 3 and 4 of the Executive Ethics Code by:
Acting in a way that is inconsistent with his position – In exerting his influence as the Executive Authority for the Department of Health to facilitate the awarding of a state contract, the conduct of the [former] Minister “was improper and at worst… unlawful”.
