The MEC defended himself, arguing that he only had requested that the department’s administration observe good governing principles. “The SIU investigation commenced in May 2020 and the premier’s [David Makhura] office will announce the findings as soon as they become available. As the originator of the process, I wholly support the SIU’s investigation.
