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. In May, news broke of a scandal involving a R150m contract awarded to Digital Vibes by the SA Health Department - upon which Mkhize’s once-revered reputation as ‘one of the good guys’ in the ANC started to splinter.

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
