Johannesburg – President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday authorised the publication of the Special Investigating Unit’s report on the Digital Vibes scandal.
Ramaphosa received the findings in July.
He subsequently sent notices to all those referred to in the report, giving them an opportunity to object to its publication.
The Presidency said this was done in the interest of fairness and in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act.
The 100-page report outlines how millions of taxpayer’s money were irregularly paid to Digital Vibes and were squandered on repairs to former Health Minister Zweli Mkhize’s home and a Land Cruiser for his son among other things.
The SIU noted that during a briefing in May, Mkhize denied that he or his family benefitted from the dodgy dead. The report states this denial was a lie.
The report also found that Digital Vibes failed to declare company tax and VAT to SARS.
