Listen "A rogue Minister and an absent Deputy President"
Episode Synopsis
Topping our conversation this week on Sunday Times Politics Weekly, is the fate of former Health Minister Zweli Mkhize. You’ll remember that, despite allegations of impropriety, having come thick and fast against him, he hung on to his position, as if his life depended on it, only to resign yesterday just hours before President Cyril Ramaphosa was set to announce a cabinet reshuffle. What then, we ask, are the dictates of public accountability in SA and why didn't the presidency act again Mkhize earlier?
Of course, we also address the other hot political topic of the week – the prolonged absences of deputy president David Mabuza.
