Editorial | Mr President, honour your pledge
Mkhize, who had done a sterling job in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic and was therefore a hero to many, was praised for taking the president’s directive in good spirit.
The SIU is tasked mainly with recovering ill-gotten money from unlawful contracts, but in instances where it believes there is enough evidence for prosecution, it can refer cases to the National Prosecuting Authority . According to the SIU, Mkhize received R6 720 from Digital Vibes while his son received R3.8 million. This money allegedly amounts to undue gratification as there is no evidence that they did any work for Digital Vibes.We would like to take this opportunity to remind the president of a letter he wrote to ANC branches last year, bemoaning the fact that his party had become “corruption accused number one”.
