The Mercedes-Benz was only assessed after the Sunday Times broke the story.

On Thursday, the department released a statement stating that following the latest developments, “the incumbent MEC has since written to the premier of the province of KwaZulu-Natal to seek advice on how to best handle this matter considering the latest developments henceforth.

“In the meantime, the head of department of education in KwaZulu-Natal continues to pursue the matter with all officials who were given the responsibility to attend to the issue of the official vehicle for the MEC.” Spokesperson for the MEC Kwazi Mthethwa told TimesLIVE that the official vehicle was taken for a second assessment in October.

Previously a Sunday Times investigation revealed that the “damaged” car was towed to Garden City Motors on October 30, after murmurings started about Mshengu's refusal to use the car. Insiders at the dealership said the vehicle had no mechanical faults when it came in last month, except for a flat battery.
