The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has challenged former Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize to deliver on his court threat to compel it to furnish him with evidence that led to adverse findings against him, its lawyers again telling Mkhize that a Cabinet memorandum instructing the Government Communication & Information System (GCIS) to drive the NHI and COVID-19 awareness campaigns for the government either does not exist or the SIU is not in possession of it.
The Sunday Times reports that last month Mkhize wrote to SIU boss Advocate Andy Mothibi asking the unit to furnish him with the Cabinet memo and transcripts of an interview investigators conducted with the former Health Department DG or he would seek a court order. The memo is at the centre of a SIU report that led to the adverse findings against Mkhize. He has denied any wrongdoing.
