Former health minister Zweli Mkhize has denied any involvement in Babita Deokaran's murder and has asked Ipid to investigate the circumstances of how the confession in which one of the alleged killers mentioned his name was obtained.
Former health minister Dr Zweli Mkhize has come out guns blazing after his name emerged in the bail hearing of six men accused of murdering Gauteng health official Babita Deokaran, stating that it was done to cause him “political embarrassment”.
Deokaran’s alleged killers, Phakamani Hadebe, Zita Hadebe, Nhlangano Ndlovu, Sanele Mbele, Siphiwe Mazibuko and Phakanyiswa Dladla, appeared in the Johannesburg magistrate's court on Tuesday for the start of the bail hearing. Mkhize in a statement on Wednesday said he was shocked that his “name had been dragged into the case of the men arrested in connection with the murder”.
