Cogta minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma did not take kindly to accusations by a DA MP that her focus in the fight against Covid-19 has been on 'zol and alcohol'.
He said the debate on the adjusted budget of the department presented an opportunity to reflect on how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected people and also reflect on how the nation's leaders had responded to the pandemic.
after more than 100 days of lockdown, thousands of poor residents still don’t have access to water to wash their hands;“crooked” politicians and officials are colluding with businesses for their personal benefit; the Naledi Local Municipality in the North West paid R1,265 for a dust mask which usually costs less than R20; and
He said these were some of the examples of corruption during the Covid-19 lockdown, while the minister was preoccupied with “zol and alcohol”.
