KZN PPE Forensic Probe: Premier’s report a weak-kneed attempt to whitewash gross malfeasance
22 July 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) rejects yesterday’s report by KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Premier SihleZikalala – following a forensic probe into the procurement of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by the province’s Department of Education (DoE) – as a weak-kneed attempt to whitewash gross malfeasance.
The DA’s stance is also on the basis that the findings and explanations do not add up and are in direct contradiction with what the Departmental HOD, Dr Enoch Nzama, told the Education portfolio committee (EPC) in May.
Clearly those responsible for compiling this report must think the people of our province are unintelligent.
It is also scandalous that the Premier then decided to peddle such nonsense to the public, which only adds insult to injury.
