DA health spokesperson Siviwe Gwarube says the Special Investigative Unit report into Digital Vibes shows the depth of corruption in the ANC

“We call on the National Prosecuting Authority to pursue criminal investigations and prosecutions against the “Digital Vibes 4” which includes Mkhize, director-general, Dr Sandile Buthelezi as well as the deputy director-general Dr Anban Pillay, and the department’s CFO, Ian Van Der Merwe,” Gwarube said.

“The DA also calls on the Minister of Health, Dr Joe Phaahla, to clean up the rot in the Department of Health with the immediate removal of all those implicated in the Digital Vibes corruption scandal pending a criminal investigation. “The SIU report, which was a culmination of an investigation into the awarding of the Digital Vibes contract which was deemed irregular, has proven that many within the Department of Health, including the former minister Mkhize and senior management were involved in the awarding of this contract and are possibly guilty of corruption.
