KwaZulu-Natal health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu has come under fire from parliament's health portfolio committee for failing to attend a scheduled meeting.
“The chairperson should know better than to make these false accusations. He had an opportunity to engage with me or the premier if he needed clarity on why I excused myself. Unfortunately, he once again opted to talk to us through the media, by issuing a statement,” she said.
“In fact ... if he had bothered to check his e-mail, or if his office was organised, he would have realised that I tendered my apology on August 14 — five days ago. In my apology, I even made it clear the head of the department would be representing me at the meeting.” “Perhaps the time has come for the chairperson to be reminded that he had 10 years at the helm of the department, and that his predecessor never engaged in this type of behaviour. He must just stop. He must learn to let go,” she added.
