Zweli Mkhize has finally addressed the allegations made against him by former PRASA boss, Lucky Montana, and categorically stated that they are proven lies.
Minister of Health, Dr Zweli Mkhize took to Twitter on Tuesday, 10 November 2020, to address the new wave of corruption allegations levelled against him.
The allegations relate to his tenure as the African National Congress’ (ANC) Treasurer-General. Former Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) boss, Lucky Montana, alleged that he was advised to make “donations” to the party, which inevitably secured him various tenders.
However, Mkhize has categorically denied the allegations, stating, “In fact, in February 2018, Dr Mkhize also provided a statement to the Public Enterprise Parliamentary Portfolio Committee chaired by Ms Zukiswa Rantho at the time, with a statement giving a detailed account and response to these unfounded and false allegations by Mr Montana.”
The series of tweets concluded with Mkhize emphasising that he is willing to cooperate with the Zondo State Capture Commission, if need be, to resolve the matter.
