The commission said it became aware, through various social media platforms, of the widely circulated recording of a meeting held by Mazibuko in which she lambasted senior managers for failing to deliver sports facilities known as “combi courts”, purportedly to bolster support for the ANC ahead of the elections on May 8.
The commission said upon assessment of the statements, it was of the view that her comments contravened a number of rights listed in the bill of rights. The commission wants Mazibuko to appear before it to fully assess the matter and “clarify” remarks attributed to her in the audio recording.
