The charge sheet details 14 transactions from Mackay in favour of Kodwa, including one payment of R1 million. “If the court rules are in his favour, he will be eligible to take the ministerial positions again but if the case rules otherwise then he will have to step aside completely,” Bhengu-Motsiri stated.In response to the news of Kodwa’s parliamentary comeback, Corruption watchdog, OUTA raised the alarm over Kodwa’s parliamentary return.
“You know he has resigned, yet he’s still an MP. He’s still protected now by the ANC to some extent, and we believe that that’s a concern for us, for South Africa,” Duvenhage added.He urged the party to withdraw his candidacy to preserve Parliament’s integrity and spare taxpayers the expense of supporting someone accused of corruption.
