Paul O'Sullivan unpacks the gory details of the Zweli Mkhize, Digital Vibes scandal

Following an 18 month period during which South Africa sorely needed a reliable and incorruptible leader at the helm of our National Department of Health, now former Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has been exposed as having been intricately linked to a corruption saga involving communications firm Digital Vibes.

An affidavit by Rajendra Chunilall, a Principal Forensic Investigator and the Lead Investigator in the Special Investigating Unit’s investigation into the scandal, officially eradicates the remaining embers of hope we may have been holding onto regarding Mkhize’s involvement in the corruption scandal. BizNews Founder Alec Hogg spoke to ace forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan to unpack the details set out in the affidavit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
