Members of the parliamentary portfolio committee on health have conceded that they let South Africans down by not holding former minister Zweli Mkhize and senior health officials accountable for their role in the Digital Vibes scandal.

The MP was talking about a previous committee meeting when ANC members refused to have a sitting to discuss the Digital Vibes matter saying it was. It was later found that this was not the case as the matter was still being investigated by the SIU.

Her sentiments were shared by her colleague Haseenabanu Ismail, who said: “There were times when we had to fight with the former chairperson [Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo] to say actually have the department give us more reports on the vaccine rollout and only after a lot of nagging did we get more meetings with the minister.”

Sukers said there was a “disrespect and disregard for committee in general and we have officials and the executive that deliberately avoids answering questions and so we have the theatre of politics when we are dealing with a matter that affects millions of people. This is our country and it bleeds in our watch.”

So what's stopping them now! It's never too late!

They shielded that thieving lying rapist Jacob Zuma too among others. We haven't forgotten. It's reckoning time now.

They are part of the funding process for ANC. This money would land up with ANC. Now that the doors are closing ANC staff not getting salary. More mishaps to happen as the get desperate. Asshooolles

Well there is plenty of time to still do that and the sooner the better.

They keep on conceding. But this digitalvibes story is not from 3 years ago. This is less than 6 months ago. So they now tell us in less than 1 month after Nov 1 we will wake up to a different ANC. Please these guys must respect us.

ANC MPs… be clear!

Just like they did with the Nkandla saga,they don't learn.

They always concede after the fact deliberately, During the disaster, they protect and 'close ranks', exactly what they did with Zuma, Anc is weakening parliament for their private factional objectives.

Yes, and let's see how many of these noble and righteous parliamentarians will hand in their resignations for being totally useless...none; as they are there only for their pension payouts and free wifi. A bunch of people who can serve no meaningful role so here we find them !!!
