More than 500 of the over 1 500 public servants implicated in doing business with the government are from KwaZulu-Natal.
Durban -
Mchunu’s spokesperson, Vukani Mbhele, said 528 of these employees were from KZN, but could not say which departments or municipalities they worked for, or the type of business or services they provided to the government. In terms of the Public Service Regulations, officials were required to submit the disclosed financial interests of civil servants to the Public Service Commission by May 31 this year, according to the statement.“The number of government employees found to be doing business with the State and those who failed to disclose their financial interests is concerning,” Mchunu said in the statement.
DA KZN leader Zwakele Mncwango said the province’s challenge was the lack of transparency and accountability from government through to departments and municipalities.
