Former Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has revealed the reasons why he resigned. Mkhize resigned as Health Minister on the 5th of August after meeting President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier on the day.
He maintained that the SIU report which implicated him in the Covid-19 corruption tender is flawed. Mkhize said the SIU made conclusions even before he was heard.
He said the SIU did not give him a fair hearing. He said he thought of stepping down in order to allow for stability on the Health portfolio.
Zweli Mkhize’s resignation came a few hours before President Cyril Ramaphosa announced his firing from cabinet.
The SIU made damning findings against Mkhize who allegedly benefited from a R150 million tender awarded to Digital Vibes.
The SIU believes Mkhize and his family benefited up to the tune of R4 million from the unlawful Digital Vibes contract.
