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.”

Mkhize to me shows that if a person is a media darling you need to dig deep and you find that he is fighting against the masses.

Electioneering 🤣😅

When I saw the mañner certain MPs in the Health PC behaved, it was like Nkandla parliamentary debate part 2....so unbelievable

Conceded yeah 😖🥴 like living it up while the common people suffered 😠

What's new

Yet, some people are busy slamming the Zondo commission instead of holding the people they elected to parliament to account. This is exactly how state capture was enabled. The commission showed us on many occasions how parliament deliberately turned a blind eye to corruption.

That is a lame excuse, who has ever been punished for wrong doing in the ANC? All the thieving was well planned when they ascended to power 'LET US ENRICH OURSELVES FIRST' the rest will see themselves to finish.

Always about themselves and the taxpayers are getting ripped off again . No morals or ethics in the ANC

Who have they ever held accountable for anything, what a usuless parliament we have

According to ANC suspending health senior officials with full pay for 36 months and redeployed elsewhere is accountability, meanwhile the root cause/ minister goes scotch free until we forget, and let him resurface this nonsense can be stopped by sober voting not emotional one.

ANC 1st then the country shall follow..they're even blaming the messengers 🤦‍♂️🚮 We had so much hope with Mandela.. LOOK AT US NOW, ANC CADRES AND COMRADES STEALING THE FISCUS DRY, whether it's national government or municipalities 👀

Ramza to South Africans 'Nonke'

Quickest way to get rich in SA. Steal millions from the government, get caught then resign to go Mur the millions

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