Loading player...
The minister in charge of state security will have to step down after News24 revealed that Khumbudzo Ntshavheni is being investigated for what a judge called a “repugnant and devastating” tender awarded during her tenure as municipal manager of the Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality, her job before being elevated to the powerful role of minister in the presidency. This role includes oversight of state security and government communications. She is the face of the government and the voice of the Cabinet and every week she communicates the decisions of the government of national unity Cabinet. While the tender amount in dispute is small, the report reveals that the Hawks have finalised their investigation and that the National Prosecuting Authority is readying charge sheets. Phemelo gets reaction from DA MP and Spokesperson on State Security Dianne Kohler Barnard and EFF MP, Sinawo Thambo.
