Earlier, MPs were told that they erred when they failed to hold Mkhize, who has since been placed on special leave, accountable for his alleged role in the saga.

Buthelezi said there was ongoing communication between himself and the SIU with the latest communication being on Monday.

Buthelezi told MPs he had been advised to wait for the SIU’s final report, which was expected at the end of June, before acting on the recommendations from the internal Ngubane report. “This report, with all due respect, is disappointing and does not give us information that we need to get on this matter and that’s why I am saying the person involved in this matter, must come and appear before us.”

“I want to know what was the total value of this contract that was advertised, how many contractors were shortlisted and on what basis Digital Vibes was chosen. There has been a lot of talk of how the contract moved from the initial brief around NHI and then converted to be around the pandemic. What did the department seek to do?”

“The fact before us is that the investigation is inconclusive. Whether the minister was on leave or not, he was not going to account on a report that was not concluded by the SIU. In this regard, I am putting forward a plea to allow the investigation to be concluded by the SIU to avoid jeopardising the process.”
