STATEMENT ON FORMER MPUMA ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS MEC DAVID MKHWANAZI
Minister of Foreign Affairs Alfred Nzo on Sunday reiterated in Cape Town that former Mpumalanga environmental affairs MEC David Mkhwanazi was never considered for an overseas diplomatic posting.
This follows persistent media reports to this effect, which led to Public Protector Selby Baqwa stating he would investigate the matter.
Minister Nzo made the same remarks on Monday last week, in which he categorically stated that Mr Mkhwanazi was not being considered for a diplomatic posting.
