Blade Nzimande denied that he attempted to conceal a forensic report regarding the National Skills Fund.The fund provides money for skills development initiatives.
"The truth of the matter is that I made a request to Scopa [the Standing Committee on Public Accounts] to the effect that the Department of Higher Education and Training should be given reasonable space to deal with all consequence management matters, due processes and recommendations arising from the forensic report, before publicly releasing the report," Nzimande said.
