Over the weekend allegations emerged that three ANC members are under investigation for allegedly soliciting a R600,000 bribe from Mkhwebane to make an inquiry looking into her fitness to hold office "go away". According to a statement from the speaker, Mkhwebane wrote a letter requesting to meet her, confidentially discuss the allegations and get advice on how parliament might proceed with an investigation.
Mapisa-Nqakula said she has advised Mkhwebane to formally file a complaint with the joint committee on ethics and members’ interests regarding her allegations of corruption in the Section 194 Committee investigation into her eligibility to hold office.
The speaker said she gave Mkhwebane the assurance that, in accordance with the code, all documents, data and evidence held by the registrar must be kept confidential. Additionally, meetings of the joint committee on ethics and members’ interests and subcommittee must be closed to the public until such time as a finding is reached, which, together with the reasons therefore, are made public.
