NATIONAL NEWS - The Special Investigating Unit’s (SIU) report on the health department’s R150 million contract with Digital Vibes – a company with strong links to Health Minister Zweli Mkhize’s associates – is on President Cyril Ramaphosa’s desk.
On Thursday, SIU spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago confirmed to News24 the report was completed and handed to Ramaphosa’s office on Wednesday.
In June, Ramaphosa said the matter of Mkhize and the disturbing contract with Digital Vibes would not be swept under the carpet.
He added he, as he had done before, would act once the SIU finalised its investigation.
Ramaphosa’s office was asked for comment and it will be included once received.
According to a Sunday Times, the report found Mkhize allegedly pressured officials to appoint the company linked to his close associates, Tahera Mather and Naadhira Mitha.
