JOHANNESBURG: Corruption accused African National Congress MP and former state security minister Bongani Bongo has thrown his weight behind former health minister Zweli Mkhize ahead of the African National Congress 's national elective conference.
Bongo addressed journalists outside the Nelspruit Commercial Court on Wednesday where he appeared in the multimillion-rand trial alongside 17 others. The trial was postponed to next June. Despite Mkhize's implication in the scandalous Digital Vibes tender, Bongo said he supports the former health minister because he won't use the courts against his political opponents.
“He strikes me as a person who is prepared to rise to above petty politics and not use state institutions to purse personal agendas,” Bongo added.
