“I was a full member appointed by the premier in 2014 as a chairperson of the social cluster. MEC Lebogang Maile was the chair of the economic cluster, MEC Ismail Vardi was the chair of the government cluster, I was chairperson of the social cluster, MEC Barbara Creecy and then premier David Makhura – those were the five politicians who were part of the budget committee.”
“When we go before the premier’s budget committee, I do not go alone. Dr Barney Selebano [former head of Gauteng’s Department of Health] was present and his council can attest to that, the CFO and many other senior officials from the department of health were present with me in all these meetings and their names are not reflected.
Mahlangu insisted that the Life Esidimeni matter did not arise at all at the meeting on 13 November 2014, but cost containment measures were submitted three days later. He also questioned Mahlangu on what she knew as fact and what she knew as hearsay, following her testimony that she relied on staff members of the department to carry out the actual functions within the department.
