Editorial | Mkhize’s leave is a good start. Part of why it took so long is that we have no real culture of accountability in this country. Politicians caught doing wrong have to be dragged kicking and screaming from their positions

“This period of special leave will enable the minister to attend to allegations and investigations concerning contracts between the department of health and a service provider, Digital Vibes,” the presidency said in a short statement released on Tuesday afternoon.

The allegations against Mkhize were damning and fully implicated him. He agreed the contracts that benefited his former personal assistant and “comrades” were irregular. So why was it so hard for him to resign or be relieved of his duties?It had been weeks since the Daily Maverick had published a series of exposés, but President Cyril Ramaphosa had been content to say he “was dealing with the matter”, while Mkhize was only prepared to deny any wrongdoing.

As the South African public, we should not be fooled by these internal mechanisms. We should demand that the likes of Mkhize step down, not step aside. It also prefers to take its leaders through its integrity commission – which has no investigative or forensic skills to properly probe complicated allegations of fraud, money laundering and corruption. The integrity commission also has no real powers as its recommendations have to be approved by the ANC national executive committee.

And arrested.

He must to the right and hand in his resignation

THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THESE ANC CRIMINALS. CORRUPTION AND LOOTING OF TAXPAYERS MONEY IS OFFICIAL ANC POLICY. CRIMINALS ARE RUNNING THE COUNTRY AND THE ANC.

Just the headline only is nonsense. How on earth can it be a 'good start'? the man is still enjoying all his benefits resting at home.
