Deputy President Paul Mashatile has confirmed that the Ethics Committee is investigating corruption allegations against him. This follows a complaint lodged by the opposition DA to the Ethics Committee.
This waa after reports emerged that Mashatile was allegedly involved in multi million rand corruption scandals including houses in Cape Town and Johannesburg worth millions of rands.
Mashatile told Parliament on Thursday that the Ethics Committee has given him seven days to respond to the allegations of corruption. He said he would provide his response to the committee next week.
DA Chief Whip Siviwe Gwarube asked Mashatile to come clean on Thursday during a Q and A session in Parliament.
The response by Mashatile came after members of the ANC tried blocking the question saying Gwarube was circumventing the rules by asking the question directly.
